Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Umbral Collar Zealot + Hulk, Strongest There Is

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Umbral Collar Zealot

Hulk, Strongest There Is

How it works

1. Activate Umbral Collar Zealot by sacrificing Hulk.
2. When Hulk dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to its replacement effect.
3. Resolve the Umbral Collar Zealot ability.
4. Repeat.

This intricate engine relies on Isilu, Carrier of Twilight—the reverse face of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn—to grant your other nontoken creatures persist, allowing them to loop back from the graveyard when they die. By feeding Hulk, Strongest There Is to Umbral Collar Zealot, you trigger that persist ability to instantly return Hulk to the battlefield, while simultaneously utilizing the Zealot's sacrifice activation to continuously surveil through your deck. Because Hulk returns without the expected -1/+1 counter hindrance, you can repeat this deadly loop endlessly to generate infinite enter-the-battlefield, leave-the-battlefield, and death triggers.
