How it works

  1. Cost Not Dead After All by paying B mana, targeting a creature you control.
  2. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying 1R manaR mana.
  3. When Dualcaster Mage enters the battlefield, it triggers, copying Not Dead After All, with the copy targeting Dualcaster Mage.
  4. Resolve the copy of Not Dead After All.
  5. Holding priority, activate Yahenni by sacrificing Dualcaster Mage.
  6. When Dualcaster Mage dies, it triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield with a Wicked Role token attached to it.
  7. When Dualcaster Mage enters the battlefield, it triggers, copying Not Dead After All, with the copy targeting Dualcaster Mage.
  8. Resolve the copy of Not Dead After All.
  9. Resolve the Yahenni ability.
  10. Activate Yahenni by sacrificing Dualcaster Mage.
  11. When Dualcaster Mage dies, it and the Wicked Role token attached to it trigger.
  12. Resolve the Wicked Role trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life.
  13. Resolve the Dualcaster Mage trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a Wicked Role token attached to it.
  14. Repeat from step 7.

This clever loop uses Dualcaster Mage to perpetually re-copy its own resurrection spell, creating an engine of endless sacrifices. By targeting Dualcaster Mage with Not Dead After All and then sacrificing it to Yahenni, Undying Partisan before the spell resolves, you set up a recursive loop where Dualcaster Mage constantly returns from the dead. Every time Dualcaster Mage re-enters the battlefield, its triggered ability intercepts the original spell on the stack to make a fresh copy, while the accumulated Wicked Role tokens ensure that this endless cycle of death immediately drains your opponents out of the game.
