How it works

  1. Activate Cephalid Inkshrouder by discarding a card.
  2. Glint-Horn Buccaneer triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
  3. Snake Umbra triggers for each opponent dealt damage.
  4. Resolve one trigger, causing you to draw a card.
  5. Holding priority, repeat.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop turns your own hand into a self-sustaining engine of destruction by leveraging Snake Umbra's triggered ability to continuously draw the cards you need. You initiate the cycle by activating Cephalid Inkshrouder's ability to discard a card, which instantly triggers Glint-Horn Buccaneer to ping each opponent for 1 damage. Because the enchanted creature is dealing damage, Snake Umbra triggers to draw you a card, replacing the one you just discarded. You can repeat this entire process indefinitely, churning through your deck while Glint-Horn Buccaneer rattles off near-infinite damage to close out the game.
