Aurelia, the Warleader + Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector

Aurelia, the Warleader

Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector

How it works

1. Declare Aurelia as an attacker.
2. Aurelia triggers, untapping all creatures you control and causing you to take an extra combat phase after this one.
3. Activate any number of creatures you control by tapping them, adding at least 2.
4. Activate Gilraen by paying 2 and tapping it, blinking Aurelia.
5. Repeat each combat phase.

This elegant engine harnesses the looping potential of Aurelia, the Warleader by perpetually granting her fresh combat steps and instant untaps. While Aurelia’s attack trigger sets the chain in motion by providing that crucial extra combat phase and untapping your board, Gilraen, Dúnedain Protector acts as the tireless mechanic behind the scenes, paying the {2} activation cost to instantly blink her away and reset her "first time each turn" condition upon return. Together, they create an endless cycle of assaults where your team is perpetually readied for battle, turning a single charge into an infinite succession of victorious combat phases.
