Marina Vendrell + Funeral Room // Awakening Hall + Thornbite Staff + Bloodflow Connoisseur

Marina Vendrell

Funeral Room // Awakening Hall

Thornbite Staff

Bloodflow Connoisseur

How it works

1. Activate Marina by tapping it, unlocking Awakening Hall.
2. Awakening Hall triggers, returning all creature cards in your graveyard to the battlefield.
3. Activate Bloodflow Connoisseur by sacrificing one of the returned creatures.
4. When the creature dies, Marina triggers, and Funeral Room triggers if it's unlocked.
5. Resolve the Marina trigger, untapping it.
6. Resolve the Funeral Room trigger, if applicable, causing each opponent to lose 1 life and you to gain 1 life.
7. Resolve the Bloodflow Connoisseur ability.
8. Activate Marina by tapping it, locking Awakening Hall.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 7 once.
10. Repeat from step 1.

This intricate setup turns Marina Vendrell into a revolving door for your graveyard, letting you repeatedly unlock the Awakening Hall side of the Funeral Room // Awakening Hall split card. As the Awakening Hall's triggered ability floods the battlefield with resurrected creatures, Bloodflow Connoisseur stands ready to sacrifice them for power. Meanwhile, the Funeral Room half converts every single one of those deaths into relentless life drain, and while Thornbite Staff isn't strictly necessary for this specific loop, its presence highlights just how easily creature casualties can be weaponized in a graveyard-centric strategy like this.
