How it works

  1. Activate Carrion Feeder by sacrificing Iron League Steed.
  2. When Iron League Steed dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
  3. When Iron League Steed enters, its fabricate ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  4. Resolve the Carrion Feeder ability.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on the constant transformation and back-and-forth resilience provided by Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, whose backside grants your other nontoken creatures the persist ability. By feeding Iron League Steed to Carrion Feeder, the Steed hits the graveyard and immediately returns thanks to that granted persist, bringing a -1/-1 counter along with it. To neutralize this drawback, Iron League Steed's fabricate ability triggers upon re-entry, placing a +1/+1 counter that immediately annihilates the -1/-1 counter via state-based actions. This leaves the Steed fresh and ready to be sacrificed to Carrion Feeder all over again, generating an endless stream of triggers and pumped-up stats.
