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.
  6. Cast Priest of Gix from exile by paying 2.
  7. When Priest of Gix enters the battlefield, it triggers, adding B manaB manaB mana.
  8. Repeat.

This looping engine turns a modest cadre of ghouls into a devastating recursion loop, fueled entirely by the black mana generated by Priest of Gix. As you sacrifice the Priest to Bloodflow Connoisseur, Rakdos, the Muscle triggers to exile cards from your library, setting up the top of your deck with Haunted Crossroads so you can replay the Priest from exile. Meanwhile, Cemetery Prowler quietly pulls its weight from the sidelines, leveraging its static ability to reduce the casting costs of your spells by sharing card types with exiled cards.
