Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Woe Strider + Kithkin Spellduster

Melira, Sylvok Outcast

Woe Strider

Kithkin Spellduster

How it works

1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Kithkin Spellduster.
2. When Kithkin Spellduster 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 Woe Strider ability
4. Repeat.

This loop relies on Melira, Sylvok Outcast to completely neutralize the mechanical drawback of persist, ensuring that Kithkin Spellduster never actually accumulates the -1/-1 counters that would normally keep it in the graveyard. By feeding Kithkin Spellduster to Woe Strider's sacrifice ability, you trigger the persist return over and over again. Woe Strider acts as both the repeatable sacrifice outlet and a scry engine that lets you dig through your deck while churning out an endless stream of entries, leaves, and deaths.
