How it works

  1. Activate Yahenni by sacrificing Angel of Invention.
  2. When Angel of Invention dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
  3. When Angel of Invention enters, its fabricate ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  4. Resolve the Yahenni ability.
  5. Repeat.

This elegant loop centers on the recursive power of Angel of Invention, whose daytime face (Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight) grants it persist while Yahenni, Undying Partisan stands ready to feed on its repeated demises. When Yahenni sacrifices the Angel, its persist ability brings it straight back to the battlefield with a -1/+1 neutralizing -1/-1 counter; instantly, its fabricate ability triggers to slap a +1/+1 counter on it, canceling out the penalty and keeping the Angel pristine for another trip to the graveyard. Meanwhile, Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight's passive convoke ability and anthem effects from Angel of Invention weave seamlessly into the engine, turning a simple sacrifice loop into a ceaseless cascade of enter-the-battlefield, leave-the-battlefield, and death triggers.
