Carth the Lion + Liliana Vess + Beacon of Tomorrows + Sakashima the Impostor

Carth the Lion

Liliana Vess

Beacon of Tomorrows

Sakashima the Impostor

How it works

1. Cast Beacon of Tomorrows by paying 6, causing you to take an extra turn after this one and shuffle Beacon of Tomorrows into your library.
2. Activate Liliana Vess's second loyalty ability by removing zero loyalty counters from it, searching your library for Beacon of Tomorrows, then shuffling your library and putting it on top.
3. Move to your next turn, drawing Beacon of Tomorrows during your draw step.
4. Repeat.

This intricate sequence locks down your opponents by looping infinite turns, fueled by a clever interaction with Carth the Lion. Carth's static ability gives your planeswalkers' loyalty abilities an extra [+1] boost, which allows Liliana Vess to execute her [-2] tutor ability for zero net loyalty cost—effectively searching your library for Beacon of Tomorrows without dying. You then draw Beacon of Tomorrows on your extra turn, cast it to take yet another turn while shuffling it back into your library so Liliana can find it again. Meanwhile, Sakashima the Impostor provides a resilient clone effect that can mimic Carth or other key creatures to keep your engine running smoothly.
