Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Bartolomé del Presidio + Triskelavus

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

Bartolomé del Presidio

Triskelavus

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Triskelavus.
2. When Triskelavus dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to its replacement effect.
3. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
4. Repeat.

This elegant loop centers on the graveyard resilience granted by the Isilu, Carrier of Twilight side of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, which gives Triskelavus the persist ability so it keeps coming back with a -1/-1 counter. However, because Bartolomé del Presidio is right there ready to sacrifice Triskelavus at a moment's notice, you can continually feed the cycle while growing your vampire into a massive threat. The clever twist is that Triskelavus can also spend its own built-in counters to spawn tokens, utilizing its inner mechanics alongside the sacrifice outlet to churn out boundless deaths and enter-the-battlefield triggers.
