Yurlok of Scorch Thrash + Agatha's Soul Cauldron + Pili-Pala
How it works
- Activate Yurlok of Scorch Thrash by paying 1 and tapping it, causing each player to add .
- Activate Yurlok of Scorch Thrash using Pili-Pala's ability by paying 2 and untapping it, adding one mana of any color.
- Repeat an arbitrarily large number of times.
- It is strongly recommended to empty your mana pool using a mana sink before proceeding.
- Move to your next step or phase, causing each player to lose life equal to the amount of unspent mana in their mana pool.
- Each player whose mana pool contained an amount of mana equal to or greater than their life total loses the game due to having 0 or less life, which causes a draw if every player lost the game.
This loop weaponizes Yurlok of Scorch Thrash's unusual mana-drain ability by turning your opponents' unspent green, red, and black mana into lethal life loss. To generate the necessary untaps, Agatha's Soul Cauldron needs to exile Pili-Pala and place a +1/+1 counter on Yurlok of Scorch Thrash, granting the legendary Jund shaman Pili-Pala's untap ability. Since Agatha's Soul Cauldron also allows you to spend mana as though it were any color, you can continuously filter and infinitely repeat Pili-Pala's untap to fund Yurlok of Scorch Thrash's mana-producing tap ability. Once you stop and let the phase end, Yurlok of Scorch Thrash punishes everyone at the table for the floating mana they cannot spend, often resulting in a dramatic draw when all players lose their remaining life simultaneously.
