Cormela, Glamour Thief + Not Dead After All + Phyrexian Altar

Cormela, Glamour Thief

Not Dead After All

Phyrexian Altar

How it works

1. Cast Not Dead After All by paying , targeting Cormela.
2. Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Cormela, adding .
3. When Cormela dies, it triggers twice, as well as any Wicked Role tokens that may be attached to it.
4. If applicable, resolve the Wicked Role trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life.
5. Resolve the first Cormela trigger, returning Not Dead After All to your hand from your graveyard.
6. Resolve the second Cormela trigger, returning Cormela from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped, and attaching a Wicked Role token to it.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop starts by casting Not Dead After All to grant Cormela, Glamour Thief a persistent safety net before you feed her to Phyrexian Altar for mana. Because Cormela's own death triggers twice—thanks to the recursive safety net and her own built-in graveyard retrieval—she can fish both the resurrection spell and herself right back out of the graveyard. Phyrexian Altar acts as the engine that fuels the entire sequence with necessary sacrifice outlets, ultimately generating an infinite stream of life loss, storm count, and death triggers.
