How it works

  1. During an opponent's combat step, activate up to five lands you control by tapping them, adding at least 3B manaB mana.
  2. Cast Wake the Dead by paying 2B manaB mana, returning Archaeomancer and Peregrine Drake from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  3. Peregrine Drake and Archaeomancer enter the battlefield, triggering their abilities.
  4. Resolve the Peregrine Drake trigger, untapping up to five lands you control.
  5. Resolve the Archaeomancer trigger, returning Wake the Dead from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Activate Viscera Seer twice by sacrificing Peregrine Drake and Archaeomancer, causing you to scry 1 twice.
  7. Repeat.

This brilliant graveyard loop transforms Wake the Dead into a recurring engine by timing its deployment strictly during an opponent's combat step. As Peregrine Drake and Archaeomancer enter the battlefield together, their triggered abilities immediately replenish your resources by untapping your lands and returning the very same Wake the Dead back to your hand. Meanwhile, Viscera Seer acts as the crucial sacrifice outlet that allows you to cleanly send both creatures back to the graveyard before the end step demands it, filtering your library with scry triggers along the way.
