How it works

  1. Activate Bloodflow Connoisseur by sacrificing Priest of Gix.
  2. When Priest of Gix dies, Rakdos triggers.
  3. Holding priority, activate Haunted Crossroads by paying B mana, putting Priest of Gix from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  4. Resolve the Rakdos trigger, causing you to exile the top three cards of your library with the ability to play them until your next end step.
  5. Resolve the Bloodflow Connoisseur ability from step 1, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  6. Cast Priest of Gix from exile by paying at most 2.
  7. Animar triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  8. When Priest of Gix enters the battlefield, it triggers, adding B manaB manaB mana.
  9. Repeat.

This loop uses Haunted Crossroads to continually recycle Priest of Gix from the graveyard back to the top of your library, where Rakdos, the Muscle's exile trigger lets you play it again. Animar, Soul of Elements acts as the cost-reducing engine, accumulating +1/+1 counters with each creature cast so that the Priest's mana production easily covers its recurring entry fee. Meanwhile, Bloodflow Connoisseur provides the sacrifice outlet to start the chain, and Rakdos turns those repeated sacrifices into a full exile-and-play sweep of your entire library.
