The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk + Doubling Season + Fortune, Loyal Steed

The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk

Doubling Season

Fortune, Loyal Steed

How it works

1. Activate Avatar Kuruk by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
2. Activate Fortune's saddle ability by tapping Avatar Kuruk, causing Fortune to become saddled until end of turn.
3. Declare Fortune as an attacker. At the end of combat, Fortune triggers, blinking it and Avatar Kuruk and causing Avatar Kuruk to return to the battlefield as The Legend of Kuruk with two lore counters on it due to Pir.
4. The Legend of Kuruk's first and second chapter abilities trigger and Fortune trigger.
5. Resolve the Fortune trigger, causing you to scry 2.
6. Resolve the Legend of Kuruk triggers, causing you to scry 2, draw a card, scry 2 and draw another card.
7. Move to your next turn. At the beginning of your precombat main phase. The Legend of Kuruk triggers, putting two lore counters on it. Its third chapter ability triggers, causing you to exile it and return it to the battlefield as Avatar Kuruk.
8. Repeat.

This intricate engine revolves around constantly resetting Avatar Kuruk to take infinite turns through its devastating Exhaust waterbend ability. While Fortune, Loyal Steed handles the heavy lifting by repeatedly blinking Avatar Kuruk at the end of combat to transform it back into The Legend of Kuruk, the magical touch is provided by Doubling Season; its passive replacement effect ensures that when The Legend of Kuruk returns, it immediately picks up extra lore counters to instantly flip right back into its avatar side on your next turn.
