How it works

  1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Cavalier of Night.
  2. When Cavalier of Night dies, it triggers, returning Activated Sleeper from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Cavalier of Night.
  3. When Activated Sleeper enters the battlefield, its first triggered ability from Cavalier of Night triggers; choose not to sacrifice a creature.
  4. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability from step 1.
  5. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Activated Sleeper.
  6. When Activated Sleeper dies, its last ability from Cavalier of Night triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Cavalier of Night.
  7. When Activated Sleeper enters the battlefield, it triggers; choose not to sacrifice a creature.
  8. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability from step 5.
  9. Repeat from step 5.

This clever loop is orchestrated by Bartolomé del Presidio, who acts as the dedicated sac outlet to feed our engine. When you sacrifice Cavalier of Night to Bartolomé del Presidio, the Cavalier's death trigger lets you pull Activated Sleeper straight from your graveyard. Activated Sleeper enters as a copy of Cavalier of Night, setting up a perpetual cycle where you can sacrifice the copied Cavalier back to Bartolomé del Presidio to trigger its return—reincarnating Activated Sleeper right back to the battlefield as another copy of the Cavalier to repeat the process indefinitely.
