Junji, the Midnight Sky + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Karmic Guide + Venerated Stormsinger

Junji, the Midnight Sky

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Karmic Guide

Venerated Stormsinger

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Karmic Guide.
2. When Karmic Guide dies, Venerated Stormsinger triggers, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
3. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
4. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing Junji.
5. When Junji dies, it and Venerated Stormsinger trigger.
6. Resolve the Venerated Stormsinger trigger, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
7. Resolve the Junji trigger, returning Karmic Guide from your graveyard to the battlefield and causing you to lose 2 life.
8. When Karmic Guide enters, it triggers, returning Junji from your graveyard to the battlefield.
9. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
10. Repeat.

This looping engine is masterminded by Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, whose ability to churn out Blood tokens by sacrificing creatures acts as the economic engine that funds a massive graveyard revival. Karmic Guide and Junji, the Midnight Sky bounce back and forth between the battlefield and the graveyard, with Karmic Guide's entry trigger fetching Junji, and Junji's death trigger bringing back Karmic Guide while Shilgengar handles the sacrifices. Meanwhile, Venerated Stormsinger sits quietly on the board, converting this endless cycle of deaths into a relentless drain of life that closes out the game.
