Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist + Thornbite Staff + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist

Thornbite Staff

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

How it works

1. Activate Xu-Ifit by tapping it, returning a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
2. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing the creature returned in step 1.
3. When the creature dies, Xu-Ifit triggers, untapping itself.
4. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
5. Repeat.

This intricate recursive engine centers on Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist, whose tap ability returns a creature from your graveyard to the battlefield as a blanked Skeleton. By outfitting Xu-Ifit with Thornbite Staff, you grant it the triggered ability to untap whenever any creature dies—allowing its revival loop to sustain itself indefinitely. To turn that loop into an infinite stream of resources, Shilgengar, Sire of Famine steps in to instantly sacrifice the freshly returned creature for Blood tokens. This continuous cycle not only generates endless sacrifice and death triggers, but eventually lets you cash in those accumulated Blood tokens to mass-reanimate your entire graveyard.
