Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Vilis, Broker of Blood + Lord of the Forsaken

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

Vilis, Broker of Blood

Lord of the Forsaken

How it works

1. Activate Lord of the Forsaken by paying 1 life.
2. Vilis triggers, causing you to draw a card.
3. Sheoldred's first ability triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
4. Repeat as desired.
5. Resolve all Lord of the Forsaken abilities, adding that much C that can only be spent to cast spells from your graveyard.

This devastating loop turns self-inflicted pain into an engine of endless power, orchestrated entirely by Vilis, Broker of Blood. When you use Lord of the Forsaken's ability to pay life for colorless mana, Vilis sees that loss of life and immediately forces you to draw cards. That influx of card draw turns on Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, whose passive lifegain not only offsets the cost of your mana generation but keeps you safely ahead as the deck cycles through itself.
