How it works

  1. Activate Adarkar Valkyrie by tapping it, targeting Carrion Feeder.
  2. Activate Carrion Feeder by sacrificing it.
  3. When Carrion Feeder dies, Adarkar Valkyrie triggers twice.
  4. Resolve the first trigger, untapping Adarkar Valkyrie.
  5. Resolve the second trigger, returning Carrion Feeder from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  6. Resolve the Carrion Feeder ability.
  7. Repeat.

This engine turns the recursion power of Adarkar Valkyrie into a continuous loop by using Carrion Feeder as both the willing sacrifice and the target for the Valkyrie's delayed return trigger. Because Carrion Feeder can instantly sacrifice itself to put a +1/+1 counter on itself, it enters the graveyard on command while growing larger with every iteration. Meanwhile, Thornbite Staff plays a silent yet crucial role in this setup: if your chosen creature happens to be a Shaman—or if you pay to equip it—the Staff provides the untap capability and ranged damage, though here the core loop is safely sustained entirely through the Valkyrie's targeting and the Feeder's self-sacrifice.
