Emiel the Blessed + Charming Scoundrel + Training Grounds

Emiel the Blessed

Charming Scoundrel

Training Grounds

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 1, blinking Charming Scoundrel.
2. When Charming Scoundrel enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating a Treasure artifact token.
3. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding 1.
4. Repeat.

This intricate loop turns Training Grounds into a powerful cost-reducer, dropping Emiel the Blessed's blink activation down to a mere single generic mana. With that discount in place, you can repeatedly exile Charming Scoundrel and bring it right back to the battlefield, triggering its entry ability over and over again. Every time Charming Scoundrel returns, it creates a Treasure token that you immediately sacrifice to pay for the next blink, fueling an endless cycle of leaves-the-battlefield and enters-the-battlefield events.
