How it works

  1. Cast Shrieking Drake by paying U mana.
  2. Shrieking Drake's cascade ability from Abaddon the Despoiler triggers, causing you to cast Lotus Bloom from your library since it is the only valid card to cast.
  3. Shrieking Drake enters the battlefield, triggering itself, returning itself to your hand.
  4. Activate Lotus Bloom by tapping and sacrificing it, adding U manaU manaU mana.
  5. Activate Malevolent Chandelier by paying 2, putting Lotus Bloom from your graveyard on the bottom of your library.
  6. Repeat.

This cunning loop turns the self-bouncing nature of Shrieking Drake into a cascade engine, fueled by the life loss requirement of Abaddon the Despoiler to ensure it always hits Lotus Bloom from your library. Once Lotus Bloom is cast for free and sacrificed for mana, Malevolent Chandelier steps in to neatly recycle it from the graveyard back to the bottom of your library so the entire sequence can begin anew.
