Bishop of Wings + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Arcane Adaptation

Bishop of Wings

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Arcane Adaptation

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing another creature.
2. When the creature dies, Bishop of Wings' second ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
3. When the Spirit token enters the battlefield as an Angel due to Arcane Adaptation, Bishop of Wings' first ability triggers, causing you to gain 4 life.
4. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Shilgengar, Sire of Famine into a relentless sacrifice engine by leaning on Arcane Adaptation to rewrite creature types across the board. Because Arcane Adaptation turns every creature you own—including the 1/1 white Spirit creature tokens created by Bishop of Wings—into Angels, sacrificing a creature to Shilgengar triggers the Bishop to churn out replacement tokens that instantly enter as Angels and pad your life total by 4 thanks to its first ability. Shilgengar happily converts those sacrificed bodies into Blood tokens, fueling an endless cascade of enters-the-battlefield, leaves-the-battlefield, and death triggers while keeping your life total safely in the stratosphere.
