How it works

  1. Cast Sword of the Meek by paying 2.
  2. When Sword of the Meek enters, its living weapon ability granted to it by Ekthi triggers.
  3. Holding priority, activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Sword of the Meek.
  4. Resolve the Sword of the Meek trigger, creating a 0/0 Phyrexian Germ creature token. It'll enter as a 1/1 due to Ekthi's static effect.
  5. When the Phyrexian Germ enters, Sword of the Meek triggers, returning Sword of the Meek from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to the Phyrexian Germ.
  6. Repeat from step 2.

This clever setup transforms Sword of the Meek into a self-contained sacrifice engine by leaning on Ekthi, Contaminator Priest to grant the Equipment living weapon, ensuring a token is born whenever the Sword enters. When you sacrifice the Sword to Bartolomé del Presidio, Ekthi's static anthem conveniently pumps the resulting 0/0 Germ token just enough to turn it into a 1/1, which immediately triggers the Sword of the Meek in your graveyard to recur itself directly onto the newborn token. By looping this sequence, Bartolomé del Presidio grows infinitely large while you generate an endless stream of artifact leaves-the-battlefield, enters-the-battlefield, and sacrifice triggers.
