Syr Konrad, the Grim + Persistent Petitioners + Secret Salvage + Tormod's Crypt

Syr Konrad, the Grim

Persistent Petitioners

Secret Salvage

Tormod's Crypt

How it works

1. Cast Secret Salvage by paying 3, exiling Persistent Petitioners from your graveyard and causing you to search your library for all copies of Persistent Petitioners in your library and put them into your hand.
2. Syr Konrad triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
3. Move to your cleanup step, causing you to discard down to your maximum hand size, ensuring to discard as many copies of Persistent Petitioners as possible.
4. Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card discarded this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.
5. Activate Tormod's Crypt by tapping and sacrificing it, exiling your graveyard.
6. Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card exiled this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.

This clever loop turns the unique deckbuilding constraint of Persistent Petitioners into a lethal weapon with the help of Secret Salvage, which lets you tutor up every remaining copy from your library straight to your hand after exiling one from your graveyard. Once you discard that massive hand down to size during your cleanup step, Syr Konrad, the Grim sees all those creature cards leave your graveyard and triggers a massive wave of damage against each opponent. To keep the engine running, Tormod's Crypt steps in as a clean way to empty your graveyard, prompting Syr Konrad, the Grim to trigger yet again for every single creature card exiled in the process.
