How it works

  1. Activate Embrose by tapping it, putting a +1/+1 counter on another creature you control with toughness equal to 1, and then dealing 2 damage to that creature.
  2. The creature dies as a state-based action due to having 0 toughness.
  3. Pitiless Plunderer, Animation Module and Embrose trigger.
  4. Resolve the Embrose trigger, causing you to draw a card.
  5. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
  6. Holding priority, activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
  7. Resolve the Animation Module trigger, causing you to pay 1 to create a 1/1 Servo artifact creature token.
  8. When the Servo enters the battlefield, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures.
  9. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Shaile, Dean of Radiance // Embrose, Dean of Shadow into a lethal engine by using its own activated ability to repeatedly ping a small creature to its doom. Each time the creature perishes, Pitiless Plunderer drops a Treasure token to help fund the Animation Module, which automatically generates a fresh Servo whenever counters are placed. Finally, Intruder Alarm catches each new arrival on the battlefield and untaps your board, allowing Embrose to immediately tap and repeat the cycle for infinite card draw and triggers.
