Sheoldred, the Apocalypse + Vilis, Broker of Blood + Ethereal Champion

Sheoldred, the Apocalypse

Vilis, Broker of Blood

Ethereal Champion

How it works

1. Activate Ethereal Champion by paying 1 life.
2. Vilis triggers, causing you to draw a card.
3. Sheoldred's first ability triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
4. Repeat as desired.
5. Resolve all Ethereal Champion abilities.

This ingenious life-converting engine turns the self-inflicted damage of Ethereal Champion into a self-sustaining fountain of cards and life. By paying life into Ethereal Champion, you immediately trigger Vilis, Broker of Blood to draw cards equal to the life lost. Those newly drawn cards instantly awaken Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, whose life-gain ability more than replaces the life you spent, fueling the loop and letting you cycle through your entire deck at will.
