Syr Konrad, the Grim + Shadowborn Apostle + Secret Salvage + Surgical Extraction
Syr Konrad, the Grim
Shadowborn Apostle
Secret Salvage
Surgical Extraction
Near-infinite damage
How it works
Cast Secret Salvage by paying 3, exiling Shadowborn Apostle from your graveyard and causing you to search your library for all copies of Shadowborn Apostle in your library and put them into your hand.
Syr Konrad triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
Move to your cleanup step, causing you to discard down to your maximum hand size, ensuring to discard as many copies of Shadowborn Apostle as possible.
Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card discarded this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.
During the next player's turn, cast Surgical Extraction by paying B/P, exiling all copies of Shadowborn Apostle from your graveyard.
Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card exiled this way, dealing that much damage to each opponent.
This clever loop leverages Secret Salvage to harvest every single copy of Shadowborn Apostle from your library all at once, turning a deck-building quirk into a lethal payload. As those apostles hit your graveyard, Syr Konrad, the Grim stands ready to weaponize the zone transitions, dealing direct damage to your opponents each time a creature card is put into the graveyard or leaves it. By discarding your massive hand during the cleanup step and later exiling those same apostles with Surgical Extraction, you trigger Syr Konrad's persistent drain over and over until your adversaries are whittled down to zero.
