Lonis, Genetics Expert + Arcbound Ravager + Irenicus's Vile Duplication

Lonis, Genetics Expert

Arcbound Ravager

Irenicus's Vile Duplication

How it works

1. Cast Irenicus's Vile Duplication by paying its mana cost, creating a token copy of Lonis that isn't legendary.
2. Activate Arcbound Ravager by sacrificing a Clue.
3. Lonis and the Lonis token's second abilities trigger.
4. Resolve the nontoken Lonis trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on the token Lonis.
5. The token Lonis's first ability triggers, creating a Clue artifact token.
6. Resolve the token Lonis's trigger from step 2, putting a +1/+1 counter on the nontoken Lonis.
7. The nontoken Lonis's first ability triggers, creating a Clue artifact token.
8. Resolve the Arcbound Ravager ability.
9. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop centers around Lonis, Genetics Expert and its non-legendary token copy made possible by Irenicus's Vile Duplication, creating a perpetual motion machine of growth and deduction. Whenever Arcbound Ravager sacrifices one of the Clues generated by this engine, Lonis triggers to pump the token copy, which in turn triggers its own investigate ability and pumps the original Lonis back. Because each sacrifice immediately yields a fresh Clue to feed right back into Arcbound Ravager, you can cycle the artifact back and forth infinitely to amass boundless Clue tokens, artifact tokens, and massive +1/+1 counters.
