How it works

  1. Activate Viscera Seer by sacrificing Obstinate Gargoyle.
  2. When Obstinate Gargoyle dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Melira.
  3. Resolve the Viscera Seer ability
  4. Repeat.

This resilient loop relies on Melira, Sylvok Outcast's passive blessing, which stops -1/-1 counters from being placed on your creatures and effectively overrides the drawback of Obstinate Gargoyle's persist ability. Because the Gargoyle returns to the battlefield completely unblemished, you can feed it endlessly to Viscera Seer to churn through your deck with infinite scrys. Every cycle triggers a fresh wave of enters-the-battlefield, leaves-the-battlefield, and death events, giving you an unstoppable engine fueled entirely by sacrifice.
