How it works

  1. Activate Sakashima the Impostor using Avatar Kuruk's ability by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Activate Emiel by paying 3, blinking Sakashima the Impostor. Choose to have it enter the battlefield as a copy of Avatar Kuruk.
  3. Repeat each turn.

This fascinating loop hinges on the unique transformation mechanics of The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk to repeatedly exploit its formidable Exhaust ability for infinite turns. By having Sakashima the Impostor enter as a copy of Avatar Kuruk, you gain access to its costly Waterbend activation while bypassing the once-per-game restriction of the original through cloning. Emiel the Blessed then steps in as the engine's trusty reset button, paying its activation cost to blink Sakashima so it can re-enter fresh as Avatar Kuruk, ready to repeat the sequence indefinitely.
