Golgari Thug + Healer of the Pride + Bartolomé del Presidio + Gwenom, Remorseless

Golgari Thug

Healer of the Pride

Bartolomé del Presidio

Gwenom, Remorseless

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Golgari Thug.
2. When Golgari Thug dies, it triggers, putting it from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
3. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
4. Cast Golgari Thug from the top of your library by paying 2 life.
5. When Golgari Thug enters, Healer of the Pride triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
6. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms graveyard recursion into an engine of endless life and growth, fueled entirely by the life-paying magic of Gwenom, Remorseless. You sacrifice Golgari Thug to Bartolomé del Presidio, triggering the Thug's own ability to slide straight back onto the top of your library instead of staying dead. From there, Gwenom lets you cast that very same Golgari Thug from the top of your library, offsetting the life payment with the comforting presence of Healer of the Pride whenever the Thug re-enters the battlefield. Every iteration leaves Bartolomé del Presidio larger with a fresh +1/+1 counter while netting you endless life and sacrifice triggers.
