How it works

  1. Cast Nazgûl by paying 2B mana.
  2. Nazgûl enters, triggering its first activated ability, causing the Ring to tempt you; choose Nazgûl as your Ring-bearer, making it legendary.
  3. Nazgûl's second activated ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each Wraith you control.
  4. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Nazgûl.
  5. Ratadrabik of Urborg triggers, creating a token copy of Nazgûl that's a 2/2 Zombie.
  6. Resolve the ability from step 4, putting a +1/+1 counter on Bartolomé del Presidio.
  7. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns a simple Wraith into an endless engine by leveraging Ratadrabik of Urborg to continuously resurrect nonlegendary copies when your creatures die. The trick relies entirely on Nazgûl making itself legendary the moment the Ring tempts you upon entry, which neatly bypasses the original legendary restriction so Ratadrabik can catch the death trigger. Meanwhile, Bartolomé del Presidio acts as the reliable sacrifice outlet that sends the current Ring-bearer to the graveyard on command, feeding its own growth with +1/+1 counters while generating endless sacrificial triggers.
