Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen + Combat Celebrant + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

Combat Celebrant

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

How it works

1. At the beginning of your combat phase, Ayara triggers, returning Combat Celebrant from your graveyard to the battlefield and giving it haste.
2. Declare Combat Celebrant as an attacker, choosing to exert it as it attacks.
3. Combat Celebrant triggers, untapping all other creatures you control and causing you to get an additional combat phase after this one.
4. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Combat Celebrant
5. Repeat each combat phase.

This elegant engine relies on Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen to repeatedly resurrect Combat Celebrant at the start of combat, giving you a fresh chance to attack and exert for infinite additional combat phases. Whenever you need to feed the cycle or churn through your graveyard, Shilgengar, Sire of Famine steps in to sacrifice the Celebrant, turning it into Blood tokens that help fuel your overall strategy. By looping this sequence, you continuously trigger death effects, enter-the-battlefield triggers, and generate endless artifact tokens, turning a simple combat loop into a relentless victory.
