How it works

  1. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing Archon of Falling Stars.
  2. When Archon of Falling Stars dies, it triggers, returning Dance of the Dead from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  3. When Dance of the Dead enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Archon of Falling Stars from your graveyard to the battlefield, and attaching Dance of the Dead to it.
  4. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability, causing target player to mill cards equal to Archon of Falling Stars' power.
  5. Repeat.

This crafty resurrection loop uses Altar of Dementia to continually sacrifice Archon of Falling Stars, milling your opponent in the process. Each time the Archon hits the graveyard, its death trigger fires to return Dance of the Dead, which in turn immediately reanimates the Archon upon entering the battlefield. Because Dance of the Dead keeps attaching right back to the Archon it just brought back, this creates a seamless, self-sustaining cycle of life, death, and milling.
