Preston, the Vanisher + Karmic Guide + Cloudshift + Ashnod's Altar

Preston, the Vanisher

Karmic Guide

Cloudshift

Ashnod's Altar

How it works

1. Cast Cloudshift by paying , blinking Karmic Guide.
2. Karmic Guide enters the battlefield, triggering itself and Preston.
3. Resolve the Karmic Guide trigger, returning any creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
4. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Karmic Guide, adding CC.
5. Resolve the Preston trigger from step 2, creating a token copy of Karmic Guide that is a 0/1 white Illusion.
6. The Karmic Guide token enters the battlefield, returning the nontoken Karmic Guide from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop turns Karmic Guide into an endless engine of resurrection and sacrifice, fueled by the mana-generating power of Ashnod's Altar. By blinking Karmic Guide with Cloudshift to kick things off, Preston, the Vanisher swoops in to manufacture a 0/1 Illusion copy of the Angel every time she returns without being cast. Because each entering iteration of Karmic Guide triggers its ability to pull another creature from your graveyard, sacrificing the originals to Ashnod's Altar keeps the chain unbroken while flooding your board with an endless supply of mana, tokens, and triggers.
