Anikthea, Hand of Erebos + Oblivion Ring + Life Finds a Way + Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization

Anikthea, Hand of Erebos

Oblivion Ring

Life Finds a Way

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization

How it works

1. Cast Anikthea from your hand or from the command zone by paying 2 plus commander tax, if applicable.
2. When Anikthea enters the battlefield, it and Life Finds a Way trigger.
3. Resolve the Anikthea trigger, exiling Oblivion Ring from your graveyard and creating three token copies of it that are 3/3 Zombies.
4. When the Oblivion Ring tokens enter the battlefield, their first abilities trigger.
5. Resolve the first Oblivion Ring trigger, exiling Anikthea until the Oblivion Ring token leaves the battlefield.
6. Resolve the second Oblivion Ring trigger, exiling the first Oblivion Ring token.
7. When the first Oblivion Ring token is exiled, Anikthea returns to the battlefield from exile.
8. When Anikthea enters the battlefield, it and Life Finds a Way trigger.
9. Resolve the Anikthea trigger, choosing not to exile anything.
10. Resolve the Life Finds a Way trigger, creating three token copies of the Oblivion Ring token.
11. Repeat from step 4.

This dazzling loop spins up an endless army by turning a graveyard into a recursive engine, anchored by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos bringing back Oblivion Ring as a 3/3 Zombie. As those copied rings enter the battlefield, they temporarily exile Anikthea and each other, which instantly resets the commander to trigger all over again. Meanwhile, Life Finds a Way watches these large 3/3 threats arrive and triggers to populate, a process dramatically amplified by Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation's static replacement effect to flood the board with exponential quantities of tokens.
