This loop creates a self-sustaining cycle of pain and rejuvenation once you kickstart it with any initial source of lifegain. Epicure of Blood acts as the catalyst, turning your newfound life into an immediate life loss for your opponents. That loss of life immediately awakens Bloodthirsty Conqueror's triggered ability, forcing it to feed you back the exact amount of life lost. This influx of life triggers Epicure of Blood all over again, locking the game into an endless, fatal feedback loop that drains the table dry.
