How it works

  1. Activate Goblin Bombardment by sacrificing Iridescent Drake.
  2. When Iridescent Drake dies, Abduction triggers, returning Iridescent Drake from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  3. When Iridescent Drake enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Abduction from your graveyard to the battlefield attached to Iridescent Drake.
  4. Resolve the Goblin Bombardment ability from step 1, dealing 1 damage to any target.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a simple recursion engine into endless damage by chaining graveyard triggers together. Whenever Goblin Bombardment sacrifices Iridescent Drake, Abduction's safety net triggers to return the creature to the battlefield. That new entry triggers the Drake's own ability, snatching Abduction right back out of the graveyard and attaching it snugly to the returning creature to restart the cycle. Because Abduction ensures the Drake immediately returns to the battlefield upon death while the Drake simultaneously rescues the Aura, you have a self-sustaining loop that translates repeated sacrifices into infinite damage for any target you choose.
