Stalwart Successor + Viscera Seer + Twilight Shepherd

Stalwart Successor

Viscera Seer

Twilight Shepherd

How it works

1. Activate Viscera Seer by sacrificing Twilight Shepherd
2. When Twilight Shepherd dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Twilight Shepherd enters, Stalwart Successor triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Twilight Shepherd
4. Resolve the Viscera Seer ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Twilight Shepherd into an immortal engine by leveraging the creature's own persist ability alongside Stalwart Successor. Whenever Twilight Shepherd returns to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter, Stalwart Successor's triggered ability steps in as the crucial catalyst, placing a +1/+1 counter on the Shepherd that immediately neutralizes the -1/-1 counter through state-based actions. With the slate wiped clean each time, you can freely sacrifice Twilight Shepherd to Viscera Seer over and over again, endlessly fueling your sacrifice triggers and setting up infinite scry 1s to sculpt your draws.
