Syr Konrad, the Grim + Relentless Rats + Secret Salvage + Tormod's Cryptkeeper

Syr Konrad, the Grim

Relentless Rats

Secret Salvage

Tormod's Cryptkeeper

How it works

1. Cast Secret Salvage by paying 3, exiling Relentless Rats from your graveyard and causing you to search your library for all copies of Relentless Rats 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 Relentless Rats as possible.
4. Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card discarded this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.
5. Activate Tormod's Cryptkeeper by tapping and sacrificing it.
6. When Tormod's Cryptkeeper dies, Syr Konrad triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
7. Resolve the Tormod's Cryptkeeper ability, exiling your graveyard.
8. Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card exiled this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.

This vicious loop turns your own graveyard into a lethal weapon by leveraging Syr Konrad, the Grim as your primary win condition. After Secret Salvage fills your hand with an army of Relentless Rats fetched from your library, you discard them during your cleanup step—triggering Syr Konrad's damage ability as each creature card leaves your hand for the graveyard. Finally, you tap and sacrifice Tormod's Cryptkeeper to exile that newly stuffed graveyard, squeezing out one final wave of triggers from Syr Konrad for every single rat and artifact creature that departs.
