How it works

  1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing the Goblin, Orc or Army
  2. When the Goblin, Orc or Army dies, The Great Goblin's second ability and Mortuary trigger.
  3. Resolve the Mortuary trigger, putting the Goblin, Orc or Army onto the top of your library from your graveyard.
  4. Resolve the Great Goblin trigger, exiling the Goblin, Orc or Army from the top of your library with the ability to play it until the end of your next turn.
  5. Resolve the Shilgengar ability
  6. Cast the Goblin, Orc or Army from exile by paying its mana cost.
  7. Birgi triggers, adding R mana
  8. Repeat

This wicked loop turns the cyclical sacrifice of a creature into an engine of relentless damage and card advantage. Shilgengar, Sire of Famine provides the outlet to sacrifice your creature and churn out Blood tokens, while Mortuary ensures that the fallen creature goes straight to the top of your library rather than staying in the graveyard. As it hits the top, The Great Goblin's death trigger exiles it so you can recast it, taking advantage of Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty to generate the red mana needed to keep casting it while simultaneously dealing steady chunks of damage to your opponents.
