How it works

  1. Activate Yahenni by sacrificing another creature.
  2. Korvold's second ability and Pitiless Plunderer trigger.
  3. Resolve the Korvold trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and causing you to draw a card.
  4. Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
  5. Resolve the Yahenni ability.
  6. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding one mana of any color.
  7. Korvold's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and causing you to draw a card.
  8. Activate Zombie Infestation by discarding two cards, creating a 2/2 Zombie creature token.
  9. Repeat.

This loop transforms a modest pile of disposable bodies into an engine of endless power and card advantage. You start by using Yahenni, Undying Partisan's activated ability to sacrifice a creature—such as a token made by Zombie Infestation—which triggers Pitiless Plunderer to generate a refunding Treasure token while simultaneously fueling Korvold, Fae-Cursed King to draw cards and grow larger. Sacrificing that Treasure then triggers Korvold a second time to keep your hand full, supplying you with the fuel needed to discard two cards into Zombie Infestation and repeat the whole cycle.
