Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Kitchen Finks + Bartolomé del Presidio

Melira, Sylvok Outcast

Kitchen Finks

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Kitchen Finks.
2. When Kitchen Finks dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Melira.
3. When Kitchen Finks enters, it triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
4. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns an ordinary sacrifice outlet into an engine of endless life and growth by exploiting the interaction between Melira, Sylvok Outcast and Kitchen Finks. Because Melira's static ability prevents -1/-1 counters from being placed on your creatures, Kitchen Finks can endlessly trigger its own persist ability every time Bartolomé del Presidio sends it to the graveyard. Each iteration not only fuels Bartolomé del Presidio with a fresh +1/+1 counter, but also repeatedly dips back into Kitchen Finks' entry trigger to generate an infinite stream of life and death.
