How it works

  1. Activate Cauldron Familiar by sacrificing a Food.
  2. Ygra triggers, putting two +1/+1 counters on it.
  3. Resolve the Cauldron Familiar ability, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. Cauldron Familiar and Teval trigger.
  5. Resolve the Teval trigger, creating a creature token.
  6. Resolve the Cauldron Familiar trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life and you to gain 1 life.
  7. Activate Krark-Clan Grunt by sacrificing Cauldron Familiar.
  8. When Cauldron Familiar dies, Ygra triggers, putting two +1/+1 counters on it.
  9. Resolve the Krark-Clan Grunt ability.
  10. Repeat.

This engine relies on Ygra, Eater of All turning every creature into a Food artifact in addition to its other types, transforming your graveyard recursion into a lethal loop. You use Cauldron Familiar's ability to sacrifice itself as a Food, which immediately triggers Ygra to grow larger while enabling the cat to return to the battlefield. Meanwhile, Krark-Clan Grunt provides a convenient outlet to sacrifice the Familiar right back to the graveyard, fueling a continuous cycle that drains your opponents out of the game. To compound the value, Teval, the Balanced Scale watches cards leave your graveyard during this sequence to flood the board with Zombie Druid tokens, ensuring your sacrifice loop yields an overwhelming army alongside your infinite life and life loss.
