This ingenious transmutation relies on Quicksilver Elemental as the vessel, borrowing the powerful activated abilities of Asmodeus the Archfiend to draw massive handfuls of cards. Because Asmodeus's static replacement effect is bypassed when only its abilities are copied onto the Elemental, those drawn cards actually go straight to your hand instead of being exiled face down. Meanwhile, Skirge Familiar acts as the ultimate engine of sacrifice, letting you discard those excess cards to generate the black mana needed to fuel the cycle over and over again.
