How it works

  1. Cast Flicker by paying 1W mana, targeting Bloodwater Entity.
  2. Swarm Intelligence triggers, copying Flicker targeting Quintorius Kand.
  3. Resolve the copy of Flicker, blinking Quintorius Kand.
  4. Resolve the original Flicker, blinking Bloodwater Entity.
  5. When Bloodwater Entity enters the battlefield, its second ability triggers, putting Flicker on top of your library from your graveyard.
  6. Activate Quintorius Kand's second loyalty ability by removing three loyalty counters from it, causing you to exile Flicker from the top of your library and cast it without paying its mana cost, targeting Bloodwater Entity.
  7. Quintorius Kand and Swarm Intelligence trigger.
  8. Resolve the Quintorius Kand trigger, dealing 2 damage to each opponent and causing you to gain 2 life.
  9. Resolve the Swarm Intelligence trigger, copying Flicker targeting Quintorius Kand.
  10. Repeat from step 3.

This recursive loop is a masterclass in recycling, using Swarm Intelligence to double your spells so you can keep the chain alive indefinitely. Every iteration is fueled by casting Flicker—first targeting Bloodwater Entity to return it to the battlefield, which triggers its ability to put that very same Flicker right back on top of your library. From there, Quintorius Kand steps in with its minus-three loyalty ability to discover and cast Flicker straight from exile. Because you are casting a spell from exile, Quintorius Kand fires off damage and lifegain, while Swarm Intelligence ensures you always have a spare copy ready to blink Quintorius Kand and keep the engine humming.
