Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher + Haunted One + Faces of the Past + Sage of Hours + Viscera Seer

Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher

Haunted One

Faces of the Past

Sage of Hours

Viscera Seer

How it works

1. Activate Vhal by tapping it, adding an amount of C equal to Vhal's toughness that cannot be spent to cast spells from your hand.
2. Haunted One triggers, causing Humans and Wizards you control to get +2/+0 and to gain undying until end of turn.
3. Activate Sage of Hours by removing all +1/+1 counters from it.
4. Activate Viscera Seer by sacrificing Sage of Hours.
5. When Sage of Hours dies, its undying ability and Faces of the Past trigger.
6. Resolve the Sage of Hours trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
7. Resolve the Faces of the Past trigger, untapping all Humans and Wizards.
8. Resolve the Viscera Seer ability, causing you to scry 1.
9. Repeat.

This intricate loop centers around Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher generating a massive influx of colorless mana through her tap ability, fuel that is cleverly bypassed around hand-casting restrictions and funneled instead into your graveyard recursion. Haunted One provides the crucial undying safety net and power pump for your shared creature types whenever they tap, while Faces of the Past takes advantage of those deaths to continuously untap your board. Meanwhile, Sage of Hours acts as the ultimate payoff by cashing in its counters for infinite extra turns, and Viscera Seer provides the sacrifice outlet and scry utility to keep the cycle churning smoothly.
