Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Accomplished Automaton + Bartolomé del Presidio

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Accomplished Automaton

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Accomplished Automaton.
2. When Accomplished Automaton dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Accomplished Automaton enters, its fabricate ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
4. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on Isilu, Carrier of Twilight—the backside of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn—to grant persist to your nontoken creatures, allowing Accomplished Automaton to return from the dead with a -1/-1 counter whenever it goes to the graveyard. Fortunately, when Accomplished Automaton enters the battlefield anew, its fabricate ability triggers to place a +1/+1 counter on it; according to comprehensive rules, this +1/+1 counter immediately annihilates the existing -1/-1 counter through state-based actions, leaving the Automaton completely clean and ready to die again. By feeding this cyclical resurrection directly into Bartolomé del Presidio's sacrifice outlet, you continuously grow Bartolomé while generating an endless stream of sacrifice, death, and entry triggers.
