Falco Spara, Pactweaver + Sensei's Divining Top + Shabraz, the Skyshark + Ballad of the Black Flag

Falco Spara, Pactweaver

Sensei's Divining Top

Shabraz, the Skyshark

Ballad of the Black Flag

How it works

1. Activate Sensei's Divining Top's second ability by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top on top of your library.
2. Shabraz triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and causing you to gain 1 life.
3. Cast Sensei's Divining Top from the top of your library by paying 0 and removing a counter from a creature you control.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns your library into an endless card-drawing engine by leaning on the synergy between Sensei's Divining Top and Falco Spara, Pactweaver. Falco Spara lets you cast spells straight off the top of your library by trading away any counter on a creature you control, which completely bypasses Sensei's Divining Top's usual mana cost when you recast it. As you repeatedly draw and recast the artifact, Shabraz, the Skyshark soars into action, capitalizing on every single card drawn to grow exponentially larger while padding your life total. Meanwhile, Ballad of the Black Flag quietly sits in the background as part of the setup or historic support, completing the thematic ensemble while the Top and Falco Spara do the heavy lifting.
