Stalwart Successor + Puppeteer Clique + Bartolomé del Presidio

Stalwart Successor

Puppeteer Clique

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Puppeteer Clique
2. When Puppeteer Clique dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Puppeteer Clique enters, it and Stalwart Successor trigger.
4. Resolve the Puppeteer Clique trigger, putting a creature from an opponent's graveyard onto the battlefield under your control.
5. Resolve the Stalwart Successor trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on Puppeteer Clique
6. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
7. Repeat.

This loop weaponizes graveyard theft by endlessly recycling Puppeteer Clique with the help of Bartolomé del Presidio, who happily consumes the Faerie Rogue to fuel his own growth and trigger its return. Every time Puppeteer Clique enters the battlefield, Stalwart Successor steps in with a crucial static and triggered synergy: its ability places a +1/+1 counter on the Clique, which instantly neutralizes the -1/+1 counter from persist and allows the loop to repeat indefinitely. This lets you strip every creature card straight out of your opponents' graveyards and onto your side of the battlefield while generating boundless sacrifice and entry triggers.
