How it works

  1. Activate Skirk Prospector by sacrificing it.
  2. When Skirk Prospector dies, Mortuary and Panicked Bystander // Cackling Culprit trigger.
  3. Resolve the Mortuary trigger, putting Skirk Prospector from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  4. Resolve the Panicked Bystander // Cackling Culprit trigger, causing you to gain 1 life
  5. Cast Skirk Prospector from the top of your library by paying 1 life.
  6. Repeat.

This elegant loop lets you sacrifice Skirk Prospector for red mana while Mortuary quietly catches the goblin from your graveyard and places it right back on top of your library. Meanwhile, Bolas's Citadel allows you to bypass traditional mana costs entirely, letting you recast that very same Skirk Prospector straight from the top of your library by paying a mere 1 life instead. To keep your life total safely insulated against the Citadel's self-inflicted toll, Panicked Bystander // Cackling Culprit triggers with every single sacrifice to gain you 1 life, ensuring your engine can keep churning indefinitely to generate infinite red mana, storm count, and death triggers.
