Extus, Oriq Overlord // Awaken the Blood Avatar + Dualcaster Mage + Burnt Offering + Altar of Dementia

Extus, Oriq Overlord // Awaken the Blood Avatar

Dualcaster Mage

Burnt Offering

Altar of Dementia

How it works

1. Cast Burnt Offering by paying and sacrificing a creature with mana value 3 or greater.
2. Extus triggers, targeting any applicable creature card in your graveyard.
3. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying 1.
4. When Dualcaster Mage enters the battlefield, it triggers.
5. Holding priority, activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing Dualcaster Mage, causing target player to mill cards equal to Dualcaster Mage's power.
6. Resolve the Dualcaster Mage trigger, copying Burnt Offering.
7. Extus triggers, returning Dualcaster Mage to your hand from your graveyard.
8. Resolve the Burnt Offering copy, adding at least B/R.
9. Repeat from step 3.
10. If the sacrificed creature had mana value 4 or greater, this combo nets infinite black and red mana.

This clever loop uses Burnt Offering as the spark, sacrificing a creature to generate the black and red mana needed to keep the engine rolling while triggering Extus, Oriq Overlord's magecraft ability to recycle your resources. By casting Dualcaster Mage to copy the spell on the stack, you create a self-sustaining cycle where Altar of Dementia safely bins the Mage to let Extus bring it right back to your hand. As long as your initial sacrifice had a mana value of 4 or greater, the copied offering yields a surplus of mana every single iteration, easily fueling infinite sacrifices, storm count, and mill.
