How it works

  1. Activate Daring Thief by tapping it, adding U mana.
  2. Activate Freed from the Real's second ability by paying U mana, untapping Daring Thief.
  3. Daring Thief triggers, exchanging control of Khârn the Betrayer and any creature.
  4. Khârn the Betrayer triggers, causing the player who lost control of it to draw two cards.
  5. Repeat.

This loop turns a clever act of treason into an endless engine of discovery, fueled by Cryptolith Rite granting your creatures the ability to tap for mana. By activating Daring Thief and using Freed from the Real to untap it, you repeatedly trigger the Thief's inspired ability to trade permanents back and forth with your opponent. Each time you swap away Khârn the Betrayer, its own Sigil of Corruption ability triggers because you lost control of it, forcing you (and your opponents) to draw two cards. Meanwhile, Khârn's own damage prevention and control-shifting traits keep the berserker bouncing endlessly between sides of the battlefield, feeding your hand while you bury the table in card draw.
