Olivia, Mobilized for War + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Dragon Appeasement

Olivia, Mobilized for War

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Dragon Appeasement

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing the persist creature.
2. When the persist creature dies, it and Dragon Appeasement trigger.
3. Resolve the Dragon Appeasement trigger, causing you to draw a card.
4. Resolve the persist creature's trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
5. When the persist creature enters the battlefield, Olivia triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the persist creature and causing you to discard a card.
6. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
7. Repeat.

This engine turns a persistent loop into an unstoppable manufacturing plant for Blood tokens and card draws, all anchored by Shilgengar, Sire of Famine sacrificing your creatures. Every time a creature hits the graveyard, Dragon Appeasement rewards you with a drawn card for your trouble, keeping your hand full while you churn through resources. To keep the cycle going, Olivia, Mobilized for War catches the creature when it returns to the battlefield, immediately bolstering it with a +1/+1 counter to cancel out incoming counters and letting you ditch unwanted cards.
