How it works

  1. Activate Shilgengar 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 Shilgengar 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 loop turns Priest of Gix into an endlessly recurring engine, fueled smoothly by The Immortal Sun's built-in cost reduction to drop its casting price down to just {2}. Shilgengar, Sire of Famine provides the initial sacrifice outlet that generates Blood tokens while letting you loop the Priest right back via Haunted Crossroads. Meanwhile, Rakdos, the Muscle capitalizes on every single iteration by greedily chewing through your library and exiling cards so you can play them at your leisure.
