The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk + Sakashima of a Thousand Faces + Brago, King Eternal
How it works
- Activate Sakashima of a Thousand Faces using Avatar Kuruk's ability by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
- Deal combat damage to an opponent using Brago. Brago triggers, blinking Sakashima of a Thousand Faces. Choose to have it enter the battlefield as a copy of Avatar Kuruk.
- Repeat each turn.
This clever loop hinges on circumventing the once-per-game restriction of the Exhaust ability by constantly refreshing the permanent using Brago, King Eternal's combat damage trigger. Because Sakashima of a Thousand Faces enters the battlefield as a copy of Avatar Kuruk, it inherits that formidable Waterbend ability—allowing you to leverage your artifacts and creatures to pay the massive {20} cost and take infinite extra turns. Meanwhile, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces's passive ability turns off the legend rule entirely, ensuring your copies of The Legend of Kuruk don't immediately destroy themselves, while the front face's triggered ability rewards your spellcasting with an army of unblockable Spirit tokens to help tap down for future mana.
