Gylwain, Casting Director + Guardian of the Forgotten + Umbral Collar Zealot

Gylwain, Casting Director

Guardian of the Forgotten

Umbral Collar Zealot

How it works

1. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing another modified creature.
2. When the creature dies, Guardian of the Forgotten triggers, manifesting the top card of your library.
3. When the manifested card enters the battlefield, Gylwain triggers, creating a Role token attached to the manifested creature.
4. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability.
5. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns the battlefield into a recursive engine by using Guardian of the Forgotten as the linchpin that constantly replaces what you lose. When you sacrifice a creature to Umbral Collar Zealot, the Guardian sees that modified creature die and triggers to manifest the top card of your library. Because that newly manifested creature enters the battlefield, Gylwain, Casting Director chimes in to automatically attach a Role token—making the fresh creature modified and ready to be fed right back into the Zealot.
