How it works

  1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Swashbuckler Extraordinaire.
  2. When Swashbuckler Extraordinaire enters the battlefield, it triggers twice, and Preston trigger twice if it has power 2 or less, or once otherwise.
  3. Resolve both Swashbuckler Extraordinaire triggers, creating two Treasure artifact tokens.
  4. Resolve the first Preston trigger, creating a token copy of Swashbuckler Extraordinaire that is a 0/1 Illusion.
  5. When the Swashbuckler Extraordinaire token enters the battlefield, it triggers twice, creating two Treasure tokens.
  6. Repeat from step 4 for the remaining Preston trigger, if applicable.
  7. Activate three Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding 3.
  8. Repeat.

This glittering engine uses Emiel the Blessed to continuously blink Swashbuckler Extraordinaire, with Delney, Streetwise Lookout doubling up all those sweet entry triggers to churn out an endless harvest of Treasure tokens. Meanwhile, Preston, the Vanisher watches these non-cast creatures enter the battlefield and spawns an army of 0/1 Illusion token copies of Swashbuckler Extraordinaire, which immediately drop even more Treasures to fuel Emiel's activation cost. Because Delney keeps the power 2 or less clauses working overtime, you get a cascading loop of infinite creature enters-the-battlefield triggers, leaves-the-battlefield triggers, and cloned illusion tokens.
