Duchess, Wayward Tavernkeep + Crime Novelist + Quest for Pure Flame + Ingenious Artillerist

Duchess, Wayward Tavernkeep

Crime Novelist

Quest for Pure Flame

Ingenious Artillerist

How it works

1. Activate Duchess by paying 1 and removing a quest counter from a permanent you control, creating a Junk token.
2. When the Junk enters, Ingenious Artillerist triggers, dealing 1 damage to each opponent.
3. Quest for Pure Flame triggers, putting a quest counter on it.
4. Activate the Junk by tapping and sacrificing it.
5. Crime Novelist triggers, adding and putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
6. Resolve the Junk's ability, exiling the top card of your library with the ability to play it until end of turn.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the pursuit of quests into a deadly economic engine, fueled entirely by the mana and growth provided by Crime Novelist. By spending the red mana generated from sacrificing your artifacts to activate Duchess, Wayward Tavernkeep, you can repeatedly churn out Junk tokens while Quest for Pure Flame quietly tracks the carnage. Each time a new artifact arrives, Ingenious Artillerist weaponizes the entry to whittle down your opponents, completing the cycle of endless triggers.
