This charmingly bizarre loop lets you cast cheap enchantments back and forth to drain your opponents dry, fueled by a clever engine of self-sacrifice and recycling. You begin by casting Hateful Eidolon, which prompts Tatsunari, Toad Rider to summon the legendary frog Keimi to your board. From there, Cloudstone Curio acts as the ultimate bouncing house, allowing each incoming enchantment to scoop up the other into your hand, while Carnival of Souls turns every single entry into the black mana you need to recast them. As you endlessly alternate between casting Hateful Eidolon and Gnarled Scarhide, Keimi's presence ensures that every single drop triggers a life swing, turning a pair of humble dropouts into an unstoppable storm of doom.
