How it works

  1. Cast Arcbond by paying 2R mana, targeting Bloodthirsty Conqueror.
  2. Holding priority, cast Reverberate by paying its mana cost, copying Arcbond, with the copy targeting another indestructible creature you control.
  3. Resolve both 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 brilliant loop turns a single ping of damage into an apocalyptic chain reaction by chaining Arcbond's reflexive damage triggers with Bloodthirsty Conqueror's life-gaining lifelink-like ability. By utilizing a second copy created with Reverberate targeting an indestructible creature, you prime the board to perpetually damage everything—and everyone—upon taking even a single point of damage. Every time Arcbond hits a player, Bloodthirsty Conqueror’s lifegain trigger responds by handing you life, which effortlessly sustains the loop while simultaneously draining your opponents out of the game in one fell swoop.
