Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Vizier of Remedies + King Darien XLVIII

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Vizier of Remedies

King Darien XLVIII

How it works

1. Activate King Darien XLVIII by sacrificing it.
2. When King Darien XLVIII 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 King Darien XLVIII ability.
4. Repeat.

This elegant loop relies on Isilu, Carrier of Twilight's passive ability to grant persist to your nontoken creatures, turning the graveyard into a revolving door. When you sacrifice King Darien XLVIII, Vizier of Remedies steps in with its replacement effect, cleverly reducing the -1/-1 counter that would be placed on him to zero so he returns completely unscathed. Meanwhile, Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn provides a foundation of flying and lifelink while smoothing out your mana with convoke, and King Darien XLVIII's own anthem and token-buffing capabilities make sacrificing him a game-winning engine for endless death and entry triggers.
