Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator + Wall of Blood

Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator

Wall of Blood

How it works

1. Activate Wall of Blood by exiling the top card of your library due to Ashiok, giving Wall of Blood +1/+1 until end of turn.
2. Repeat.

This clever synergy exploits Ashiok, Wicked Manipulator's replacement effect, which steps in whenever you would pay life and banishes cards from the top of your library instead—as long as your library can support it. We feed that replacement effect directly into Wall of Blood's ability, which normally demands life payments to pump its power, bypassing the life total cost entirely. By repeating this process, you can continuously pump Wall of Blood into a near-infinitely large creature until end of turn while simultaneously exiling your entire library.
