How it works

  1. If needed, cause a creature an opponent controls to gain indestructible.
  2. Activate Requiem Monolith by tapping it, targeting the indestructible creature.
  3. Deal damage to the indestructible creature.
  4. The creature triggers, causing its controller to draw that many cards and lose that much life.
  5. Orcish Bowmaster triggers for each card drawn. Resolve the first trigger, dealing 1 damage to the indestructible creature and causing you to amass Orcs 1.
  6. Repeat from step 4.

This clever loop hinges on Requiem Monolith granting a creature a self-inflicted card-drawing penalty, which we then turn against our opponent by forcing them to draw cards. Every time that targeted creature is dealt damage, Requiem Monolith forces its controller to draw cards and lose life, and the presence of Orcs from Orcish Bowmasters turns those extra card draws into incoming damage. That damage then feeds right back into the indestructible creature, triggering Requiem Monolith all over again while Orcish Bowmasters grows your army with near-infinite +1/+1 counters.
