Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Vizier of Remedies + Lena, Selfless Champion

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

Vizier of Remedies

Lena, Selfless Champion

How it works

1. Activate Lena by sacrificing it.
2. When Lena dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Vizier of Remedies.
3. Resolve the Lena ability.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Isilu, Carrier of Twilight's granted persist ability into a self-sustaining engine by relying on Vizier of Remedies to completely mitigate the drawback of the -1/-1 counter that would normally cripple Lena, Selfless Champion. Because Lena returns to the battlefield fresh every single time, her entry triggers create an ever-growing army of Soldier tokens. Meanwhile, Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn is waiting in the wings to ensure your entire creature-casting strategy runs smoothly with convoke before you ever need to flip into the twilight side.
