Karmic Guide + Sister Hospitaller + Bartolomé del Presidio

Karmic Guide

Sister Hospitaller

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Cast Karmic Guide by paying 3.
2. When Karmic Guide enters, it triggers, targeting Sister Hospitaller.
3. Holding priority, activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Karmic Guide.
4. Resolve the Karmic Guide ability, returning Sister Hospitaller from your graveyard to the battlefield.
5. When Sister Hospitaller enters, it triggers, targeting Karmic Guide.
6. Holding priority, activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Sister Hospitaller.
7. Resolve the Sister Hospitaller ability, returning Karmic Guide from your graveyard to the battlefield and causing you to gain 5 life.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop relies on a mutually recursive resurrection engine between Karmic Guide and Sister Hospitaller, where each angel pulls the other back from the graveyard the moment it enters the battlefield. Bartolomé del Presidio acts as the essential sacrifice outlet to send them back to the graveyard instantly, letting you continuously cycle both creatures while growing Bartolomé del Presidio into a massive threat. As an added bonus, Sister Hospitaller's entry trigger also pads your life total with a steady stream of life whenever she returns to the battlefield.
