Golgari Thug + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Healer of the Pride + Gwenom, Remorseless

Golgari Thug

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Healer of the Pride

Gwenom, Remorseless

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar 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 Shilgengar 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 uses Shilgengar, Sire of Famine as the ultimate engine, letting you sacrifice Golgari Thug to fuel its blood-making ability while triggering Golgari Thug's own replacement-level recursion to seed the top of your library. From there, Gwenom, Remorseless steps in to let you cast that returned creature directly from the top of your library, paying life instead of mana to keep the cycle going. Every time that creature drops back onto the battlefield, Healer of the Pride happily offsets your life payments with a steady stream of life gain, fueling the whole operation infinitely.
