Mortuary + Aetherflux Reservoir + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Bolas's Citadel

Mortuary

Aetherflux Reservoir

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Bolas's Citadel

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing a creature with mana value 1 or less.
2. When the creature dies, Mortuary triggers, putting the creature from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
3. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
4. Cast the creature from the top of your library by paying X life, where X is the creature's mana value.
5. Aetherflux Reservoir triggers, causing you to gain 1 life for each spell you've cast this turn.
6. Repeat.

This relentless loop turns the top of your library into an endless revolving door for cheap creatures, fueled entirely by the life-paying engine of Bolas's Citadel. As you repeatedly sacrifice and recast your low-cost creature, Mortuary ensures it never truly stays dead by slipping it right back onto the top of your library to be played once more. Meanwhile, every single iteration pumps your storm count and triggers Aetherflux Reservoir, rapidly stacking up an immense cushion of life to pay for Bolas's Citadel's alternative casting cost—until you can finally cash out with Aetherflux Reservoir's activation to blast the table for 50 damage. Shilgengar, Sire of Famine acts as the catalyst for the entire sacrificial cycle, effortlessly converting your creature fodder into a mountain of Blood tokens along the way.
