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.
  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 turns a single black mana into an infinite engine by leveraging a clever recursive cadence between your graveyard and exile zones. Woe Strider acts as the sacrificial outlet, feeding Priest of Gix to the graveyard while its scry and escape abilities add utility to the grind. Meanwhile, Haunted Crossroads rescues the priest back to the top of your library just in time for Rakdos, the Muscle to exile it, which conveniently fuels the mana needed to recast it. This entire sequence is gracefully discounted by Ezzaroot Channeler's life-gaining taps, ensuring you generate infinite black mana, death triggers, and access to your entire library.
