How it works

  1. Cast Bladewing the Risen by paying 3B manaB manaR manaR mana plus commander tax, if applicable.
  2. When Bladewing the Risen enters the battlefield, it and Flameshadow Conjuring trigger.
  3. Resolve the Bladewing the Risen trigger, returning Reckless Barbarian from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Reckless Barbarian enters the battlefield, Flameshadow Conjuring triggers.
  5. Holding priority, activate Reckless Barbarian by sacrificing it, adding R manaR mana.
  6. Resolve the Flameshadow Conjuring trigger from step 4, causing you to pay R mana to create a token copy of Reckless Barbarian with haste.
  7. Resolve the Flameshadow Conjuring trigger from step 2, causing you to pay R mana to create a token copy of Bladewing the Risen with haste.
  8. Put all but the Bladewing the Risen token into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
  9. When the token Bladewing the Risen enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning the nontoken Bladewing the Risen from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  10. Put the nontoken Bladewing the Risen into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
  11. Repeat from step 2.

This ingenious dragon loop feeds upon itself by continuously recycling legendary dragons through the graveyard, all fueled by the red mana generated by Reckless Barbarian. As each iteration triggers Flameshadow Conjuring, you can easily pay the required red mana to duplicate your key threats on the battlefield. Because Bladewing the Risen constantly resurrects another dragon—or a copy of itself—the legend rule actually works to your advantage, letting you seamlessly swap the original and token versions back and forth to repeat the entire process indefinitely.
