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 Ravenous Intruder 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 loop turns the living weapon granted by Ekthi, Contaminator Priest into an endless recycling engine for Sword of the Meek. By responding to the equipment's entry trigger and sacrificing Sword of the Meek to Ravenous Intruder, you send it to the graveyard just in time for the newly created Germ token—pumped to a 1/1 by Ekthi's static buff—to trigger the Sword's resurrection ability. Because the Sword keeps returning and attaching itself to the fresh Germ over and over, you can feed Ravenous Intruder an endless stream of sacrificed artifacts to grow it to arbitrary proportions until end of turn.
