Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Phyrexian Altar + Angel of Invention

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Phyrexian Altar

Angel of Invention

How it works

1. Activate Phyrexian Altar 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. Repeat.

This ingenious loop transforms the life-gaining support of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn into the graveyard-resurrecting menace of Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, all while utilizing the mana-generating sacrifice outlet Phyrexian Altar. When you sacrifice Angel of Invention to the Altar, its persist ability (granted by Isilu) brings it right back from the graveyard with a -1/-1 counter; however, its own fabricate ability immediately places a +1/+1 counter on it, effectively neutralizing the penalty so the cycle can repeat indefinitely. Because Angel of Invention also creates tokens and pumps your board, you generate an endless stream of sacrifice triggers, creature entries, and colored mana to seal your victory.
