How it works

  1. Cast Glamerdye by paying 1U mana, changing all instances of "white" on Antler Skulkin to "black" until end of turn.
  2. Activate Antler Skulkin by paying 2, giving Callous Sell-Sword persist until end of turn.
  3. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Callous Sell-Sword, adding CC.
  4. When Callous Sell-Sword dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
  5. Callous Sell-Sword enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it for each creature you controlled that died this turn.
  6. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop transforms Antler Skulkin into an engine for any creature by using Glamerdye to permanently rewrite its color restriction, letting you target your black creatures instead of just white ones. With Callous Sell-Sword set up as the target, you can sacrifice it to Ashnod's Altar for mana, which simultaneously provides the funds for Antler Skulkin's ability and fuels the persist trigger that brings it right back. Best of all, because Callous Sell-Sword enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter for each creature that died under your control this turn, the returned creature's inherent ability neatly neutralizes the -1/-1 counter it received from persist, keeping its power growing and the cycle endlessly looping.
