How it works

  1. If Grim Poppet has any -1/-1 counters on it, activate it by removing a -1/-1 counter from it.
  2. Repeat step 1 as necessary until Grim Poppet has no -1/-1 counters on it.
  3. Activate Viscera Seer by sacrificing Grim Poppet.
  4. When Grim Poppet dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
  5. Resolve the Viscera Seer ability.
  6. Repeat.
  7. Resolve all Grim Poppet abilities, putting infinite -1/-1 counters on any number of creatures.

This loop turns the graceful duality of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight into a grim recycling engine by granting Isilu's persist ability to our key threats. By leveraging Grim Poppet's activated ability to strip away its own counters, we can safely sacrifice it to Viscera Seer to trigger that very same persist return. Every iteration filters your library with Viscera Seer's scry ability while leaving Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight on hand to support your wider gameplan with lifelink, flying, and creature spell convoke.
