The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk + Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion + Baboon Spirit

The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk

Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion

Baboon Spirit

How it works

1. Activate Avatar Kuruk by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
2. At the beginning of your end step, Baboon Spirit triggers, blinking Avatar Kuruk and causing it to return to the battlefield as The Legend of Kuruk with two lore counters on it due to Lae'zel.
3. The Legend of Kuruk's first and second chapter abilities trigger, causing you to scry 2, draw a card, scry 2 and draw another card.
4. Move to your next turn. At the beginning of your precombat main phase. The Legend of Kuruk triggers, putting two lore counters on it. Its third chapter ability triggers, causing you to exile it and return it to the battlefield as Avatar Kuruk.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop uses Avatar Kuruk's massive Exhaust waterbend ability to chain extra turns, while Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion acts as a vital multiplier to accelerate The Legend of Kuruk's lore counters upon its return. By utilizing Baboon Spirit to blink the transformed saga at the end step, you instantly generate multiple chapter triggers for card draw and set up the rapid accumulation of counters needed to transform it back. Meanwhile, Baboon Spirit's own token-generation triggers alongside Avatar Kuruk's spellcasting prowess help flood the board and provide the creatures and artifacts necessary to help pay for the hefty waterbend cost.
