This ingenious loop turns self-inflicted damage into an endless cycle of life and steel, all while Platinum Angel ensures you cannot lose the game from paying 50 life into Aetherflux Reservoir. That painful shot to your own face is immediately intercepted by Darien, King of Kjeldor, who rewards the trauma by spawning an army of fifty 1/1 Soldier tokens. As that massive battalion hits the board, Soul's Attendant triggers for every single newcomer to flood your life total right back up—a massive gain further doubled thanks to Virtue of Knowledge's passive intervention. With your life total restored well past the starting cost, you can simply activate Aetherflux Reservoir once more to repeat the entire sequence and crush your opponents.
