How it works

  1. Activate Goblin Bombardment by sacrificing Kithkin Spellduster.
  2. When Kithkin Spellduster dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
  3. Thran Vigil triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Kithkin Spellduster.
  4. Resolve the Goblin Bombardment ability.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a humble insect-clearing bird into an endless engine of destruction by pairing a persistent sacrifice outlet with a clever form of counter-mitigation. When you feed Kithkin Spellduster to Goblin Bombardment, its persist ability brings it straight back to the battlefield bearing a -1/-1 counter, but the watchful eye of Thran Vigil steps in the moment the bird leaves your graveyard to place a +1/+1 counter on it instead. Because +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters instantly annihilate each other through state-based actions, Kithkin Spellduster enters cleanly wiped of its penalty and ready to repeat the gruesome sacrifice all over again.
