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

Bartolomé del Presidio

Walking Archive

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Walking Archive.
2. When Walking Archive 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 is anchored by Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, whose back face grants your other nontoken creatures persist to keep the recycling engine running. By using Bartolomé del Presidio to repeatedly sacrifice Walking Archive, you generate an endless storm of creature deaths, exits, and entries while feeding Bartolomé's hunger for +1/+1 counters. Because Walking Archive returns from the graveyard through persist without carrying a -1/-1 counter (negated as noted in the loop's execution), the process can be repeated indefinitely for boundless value.
