Mortuary + Vein Ripper + Skirk Prospector + Bolas's Citadel

Mortuary

Vein Ripper

Skirk Prospector

Bolas's Citadel

How it works

1. Activate Skirk Prospector by sacrificing it.
2. When Skirk Prospector dies, Mortuary and Vein Ripper trigger.
3. Resolve the Mortuary trigger, putting Skirk Prospector from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
4. Resolve the Vein Ripper trigger, causing you to gain 2 life and target opponent to lose 2 life.
5. Cast Skirk Prospector from the top of your library by paying 1 life.
6. Repeat.

This ingenious loop transforms a humble Goblin into an endless engine of life and mana, perfectly orchestrated by Bolas's Citadel allowing you to play cards directly from the top of your library for a life payment instead of their mana cost. By sacrificing Skirk Prospector to its own ability, you generate red mana while triggering Mortuary to seamlessly place the Prospector right back on top of your library. Meanwhile, Vein Ripper oversees the carnage, turning every single sacrifice into a steady stream of life loss for your opponents and life gain for you that easily offsets the Citadel's mana-value costs.
