Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Woe Strider

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Melira, Sylvok Outcast

Woe Strider

How it works

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

This loop turns a simple sacrifice outlet into a perpetual motion machine by exploiting the interaction between creature death and recursion. While Woe Strider acts as the engine by eating your board for scry triggers, the real magic relies on Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight granting persist to your nontoken creatures, which would normally return them with a debilitating -1/-1 counter. Melira, Sylvok Outcast completely shuts down that downside with her passive ability, ensuring that creatures enter the battlefield completely pristine and ready to be sacrificed over and over again.
