How it works

  1. Activate Dinosaur Headdress' equip ability by paying 2, attaching it to Priest of Gix and causing Priest of Gix to become a copy of Cavalier of Night.
  2. Activate Bloodflow Connoisseur by sacrificing Priest of Gix.
  3. When Priest of Gix dies, its second ability triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Priest of Gix enters the battlefield, it triggers, adding B manaB manaB mana.
  5. Resolve the Bloodflow Connoisseur ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  6. Repeat.

This crafty loop relies on Dinosaur Headdress—the transformed side of Paleontologist's Pick-Axe—to turn Priest of Gix into an absolute powerhouse, leveraging the copied traits of Cavalier of Night to trigger a continuous cycle of sacrifice and rebirth. By sacrificing the cloned priest to Bloodflow Connoisseur, you trigger the dead creature's ability to pull itself right back from the graveyard, which in turn generates an influx of black mana thanks to the priest's original enters-the-battlefield text. Rinse and repeat this precise sequence to swell the connoisseur with infinite +1/+1 counters while generating limitless black mana and death triggers.
