Woe Strider + Dualcaster Mage + Vincent's Limit Break

Woe Strider

Dualcaster Mage

Vincent's Limit Break

How it works

1. Cast Vincent's Limit Break by paying its mana cost.
2. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying its mana cost.
3. When Dualcaster Mage enters, it triggers, copying Vincent's Limit Break, with the copy targeting Dualcaster Mage.
4. Resolve the copy of Vincent's Limit Break.
5. Holding priority, activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Dualcaster Mage.
6. When Dualcaster Mage dies, it triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Repeat from step 3.
8. Resolve all Woe Strider abilities from step 5.

This elegant loop turns a simple sacrifice outlet into an engine of endless rebirth by bending Vincent's Limit Break to target the rescuer itself. As you cast Dualcaster Mage with flash, its entry triggers to copy the Limit Break, granting the Mage a delayed trigger to return from the graveyard upon dying. Woe Strider then steps in as the sacrifice engine, putting the Mage into the graveyard so it immediately loops back to the battlefield—ready to copy yet another Vincent's Limit Break and repeat the cycle indefinitely. Meanwhile, Woe Strider’s sacrifice ability also lets you scry 1 endlessly with every iteration, filtering your entire deck while generating an unbounded storm of creature entries, deaths, and sacrifices.
