Emiel the Blessed + Preston, the Vanisher + Delney, Streetwise Lookout + Skullport Merchant

Emiel the Blessed

Preston, the Vanisher

Delney, Streetwise Lookout

Skullport Merchant

How it works

1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Skullport Merchant.
2. When Skullport Merchant enters the battlefield, it triggers twice, and Preston trigger twice if it has power 2 or less, or once otherwise.
3. Resolve both Skullport Merchant triggers, creating two Treasure artifact tokens.
4. Resolve the first Preston trigger, creating a token copy of Skullport Merchant that is a 0/1 Illusion.
5. When the Skullport Merchant token enters the battlefield, it triggers twice, creating two Treasure tokens.
6. Repeat from step 4 for the remaining Preston trigger, if applicable.
7. Activate three Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 3.
8. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Emiel the Blessed into a self-sustaining engine by repeatedly blinking Skullport Merchant. As the Merchant enters and leaves the battlefield, Delney, Streetwise Lookout doubles its entry trigger to generate a surplus of Treasure tokens, which easily fund Emiel's activation cost while providing fodder for Skullport Merchant's own card-drawing ability if needed. Meanwhile, Preston, the Vanisher watches these uncast creatures arrive and responds by creating an army of 0/1 Illusion token copies that endlessly perpetuate the loop and flood the board.
