How it works

  1. Activate Woe Strider 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 Woe Strider ability from step 1, causing you to scry 1.
  6. Cast Priest of Gix from exile by paying at most 2.
  7. When Priest of Gix enters the battlefield, it triggers, adding B manaB manaB mana.
  8. Repeat.

This intricate loop uses Woe Strider to feed Priest of Gix to the graveyard, where Haunted Crossroads immediately fishes it back onto the top of your library. From there, Rakdos, the Muscle exiles the Priest upon sacrifice, allowing you to cast it right back out of exile using the very {B}{B}{B} ritual mana the Priest generates upon entering the battlefield. Woe Strider's built-in scry ability helps smooth your draws along the way, while the cost-reducing presence of Rakdos, Lord of Riots ensures you can easily afford the creature's casting price. Together, these pieces churn through your entire deck to fuel infinite sacrifices, enters-the-battlefield triggers, and storm count.
