Warren Soultrader + Mm'menon, Uthros Exile + Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom

Warren Soultrader

Mm'menon, Uthros Exile

Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom

How it works

1. Activate Warren Soultrader by paying 1 life and sacrificing the persist creature.
2. When the persist creature dies, its persist ability and Luminous Phantom triggers if its on the battlefield.
3. Resolve the Luminous Phantom trigger, if applicable, causing you to gain 1 life.
4. Resolve the persist trigger, returning the persist creature from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
5. When the persist creature enters, Lunarch Veteran triggers if its on the battlefield, causing you to gain 1 life.
6. Resolve the Warren Soultrader ability, creating a Treasure token.
7. When the Treasure enters, Mm'menon triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the persist creature.
8. Repeat.

This loop transforms a creature with persist into an infinite engine by leveraging Warren Soultrader to repeatedly sacrifice it for Treasures while neutralizing its -1/+1 counter drawback. Every time the Treasure token enters the battlefield, Mm'menon, Uthros Exile triggers to place a +1/+1 counter on the creature, which immediately cancels out the -1/-1 counter from persist and allows the cycle to repeat indefinitely. Meanwhile, the presence of Lunarch Veteran, whose Luminous Phantom face tracks creatures entering and leaving the battlefield, capitalizes on the constant shifting of life totals to insulate you from the life-payment costs while generating infinite resources.
