Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Bartolomé del Presidio + Selfless Police Captain

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

Bartolomé del Presidio

Selfless Police Captain

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Selfless Police Captain.
2. When Selfless Police Captain 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 clever loop turns your creature base into an engine of continuous sacrifice and rebirth, anchored by Isilu, Carrier of Twilight (the transformed face of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn) granting persist to your other nontoken creatures. When you sacrifice Selfless Police Captain to Bartolomé del Presidio, the Captain's persist ability returns it to the battlefield because it died with no -1/-1 counters, while Bartolomé del Presidio simultaneously grows larger with a +1/+1 counter. Because Selfless Police Captain enters the battlefield afresh each time, you can repeat this cycle endlessly to generate infinite deaths, enters-the-battlefield triggers, and boundless power.
