How it works

  1. Cast Arcbond by paying 2R mana, targeting Bloodthirsty Conqueror.
  2. Thousand-Year Storm triggers, copying Arcbond at least once, with the copies targeting another indestructible creature you control.
  3. Resolve all Arcbonds.
  4. Deal damage to Bloodthirsty Conqueror.
  5. Arbond triggers, dealing that much damage to each player and each other creature.
  6. Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers for each opponent dealt damage, and Arcbond triggers due to the other indestructible creature being dealt damage.
  7. Resolve all Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers, causing you to gain life.
  8. Resolve the Arcbond trigger, dealing that much damage to each player and each other creature.
  9. Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers for each opponent dealt damage, and Arcbond triggers due to Bloodthirsty Conqueror being dealt damage.
  10. Resolve all Bloodthirsty Conqueror triggers, causing you to gain life.
  11. Resolve the Arcbond trigger, dealing that much damage to each player and each other creature.
  12. Repeat form step 6.

This ingenious loop turns a single ping of damage into an infinite cascade of devastation by exploiting a vicious feedback loop between lifegain and damage. Once you cast Arcbond on Bloodthirsty Conqueror, any damage dealt to it triggers a chain reaction that hits all players and creatures, which in turn causes Bloodthirsty Conqueror to trigger and gain you life from the resulting life loss. Meanwhile, Thousand-Year Storm acts as a crucial enabler, copying your Arcbond spell to ensure you can target multiple creatures—such as another indestructible creature you control—to kickstart and sustain the unending chain of triggers.
