How it works

  1. Activate Altar of Dementia by sacrificing Twilight Shepherd.
  2. When Twilight Shepherd dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Vizier of Remedies.
  3. Resolve the Altar of Dementia ability
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop leverages the elegant interaction between Twilight Shepherd and Vizier of Remedies to achieve infinite mills. When Twilight Shepherd goes to the graveyard via Altar of Dementia, its persist ability normally brings it back with a -1/-1 counter; however, Vizier of Remedies steps in to reduce that counter placement to zero, leaving the angel completely clean and ready to die again. Meanwhile, every time Twilight Shepherd enters the battlefield anew, its triggered ability catches all the cards sent to your graveyard from the battlefield *that turn*—including its own previous sacrifices—and returns them all safely to your hand.
