How it works

  1. Cast Dread Slaver by paying 3B manaB mana.
  2. When Dread Slaver enters the battlefield, Be'lakor's second ability triggers, causing Dread Slaver to deal damage equal to its power to itself.
  3. Dread Slaver dies as a state-based action due to its deathtouch.
  4. Dread Slaver triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This twisted loop hinges on Rukarumel, Biologist establishing a type-changing foundation where every creature you own becomes a Sliver, which elegantly overlaps with the Demon typeline required for Be'lakor, the Dark Master. Because Be'lakor triggers upon any Demon entering, casting Dread Slaver causes it to deal damage to itself, a process instantly lethal thanks to the passive deathtouch granted by Archetype of Finality. This self-inflicted demise immediately triggers Dread Slaver's own resurrection ability, pulling it right back to the battlefield to restart the cycle for an endless stream of entries, exits, and deaths.
