How it works

  1. Activate Saffi by sacrificing it, targeting Havi.
  2. When Saffi dies, Havi triggers, returning any legendary creature card with mana value 1 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  3. Resolve the Saffi ability.
  4. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing Havi.
  5. When Havi dies, it and Saffi trigger.
  6. Resolve the Havi trigger, returning Saffi from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  7. Resolve the Saffi trigger, returning Havi from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  8. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  9. Repeat.

This clever loop creates an endless cycle of sacrifice and rebirth by letting Havi, the All-Father and Saffi Eriksdotter continuously rescue each other from the graveyard. While Saffi's ability sets up a delayed trigger to return Havi when it dies, Havi's own legendary-recursion trigger conveniently brings Saffi right back when Saffi hits the graveyard first, locking in an unbroken chain. Meanwhile, Umbral Collar Zealot acts as the engine's catalyst, providing a free and repeatable sacrifice outlet that triggers all these death effects while fueling your graveyard with its surveil ability.
