Rot Hulk + Godhead of Awe + Kaervek, the Spiteful + Infectious Host

Rot Hulk

Godhead of Awe

Kaervek, the Spiteful

Infectious Host

How it works

1. Cast Rot Hulk by paying 5.
2. Rot Hulk dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness.
3. Rot Hulk's enter the battlefield trigger is put onto the stack.
4. Resolve the Rot Hulk trigger, returning Rot Hulk and Infectious Host from your graveyard to the battlefield.
5. Rot Hulk and Infectious Host die as a state-based action due to having zero toughness.
6. The Infectious Host and Rot Hulk triggers are put on the stack.
7. Resolve the Infectious Host trigger, causing target player to lose 2 life.
8. Repeat from step 4.

This clever loop turns a graveyard into an engine of inevitable doom, anchored entirely by the oppressive static modifiers of Godhead of Awe and Kaervek, the Spiteful, which immediately reduce incoming creatures to zero toughness. When you cast Rot Hulk, its entry trigger targets itself and Infectious Host in your graveyard, bringing them right back into the fray to immediately perish alongside it. Each iteration of this cycle wrings value out of Infectious Host's death trigger to drain away your opponents' life totals, creating a deterministic loop that locks down the game.
