How it works

  1. At the beginning of your combat phase, Helm of the Host triggers.
  2. Holding priority, activate Lithoform Engine's first ability by paying 2 and tapping it, copying Helm of the Host's trigger.
  3. Activate Abstruse Archaic by paying 1 and tapping it, copying Helm of the Host's trigger.
  4. Resolve all Helm of the Host triggers, creating three token copies of Biovisionary with haste.
  5. At the beginning of your end step, each Biovisionary triggers.
  6. Resolve the first trigger, causing you to win the game.

This clever loop turns a slow win condition into an instant victory by weaponizing the combat step. While Helm of the Host normally provides just one token copy of the equipped Biovisionary each turn, both Lithoform Engine and Abstruse Archaic step in to multiply that single trigger. Because Biovisionary is a colorless source (despite its mana cost), Abstruse Archaic can legally target its triggered ability alongside Lithoform Engine, allowing you to flood the battlefield with four total copies of the wizard in a single combat phase. When your turn reaches the end step, all those Biovisionary triggers hit the stack at once, and the first one to resolve immediately secures your victory before opponents can disrupt your board.
