Preston, the Vanisher + Fiend Hunter + Glimmerpoint Stag

Preston, the Vanisher

Fiend Hunter

Glimmerpoint Stag

How it works

1. Cast Glimmerpoint Stag by paying 2.
2. When Glimmerpoint Stag enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Fiend Hunter until the next end step.
3. When Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning all cards exiled with it to the battlefield under their owner's control.
4. At the beginning of your end step, Glimmerpoint Stag triggers, returning Fiend Hunter from exile to the battlefield.
5. When Fiend Hunter enters the battlefield, its first ability and Preston trigger.
6. Resolve the Fiend Hunter trigger, exiling Glimmerpoint Stag.
7. Resolve the Preston trigger, creating a copy of Fiend Hunter that is a 0/1 Illusion.
8. When the token Fiend Hunter enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling the nontoken Fiend Hunter until the token Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield.
9. When the nontoken Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning Glimmerpoint Stag from exile to the battlefield.
10. When Glimmerpoint Stag enters the battlefield, it and Preston trigger, with Glimmerpoint Stag targeting the Fiend Hunter token.
11. Resolve the Preston trigger, creating a token copy of Glimmerpoint Stag that is a 0/1 Illusion.
12. When the token Glimmerpoint Stag enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling the Fiend Hunter token.
13. When the token Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning the nontoken Fiend Hunter from exile to the battlefield.
14. Repeat from step 5.

This brilliant loop relies on Preston, the Vanisher to turn uncasted creature entries into a cascade of fragile 0/1 Illusions that keep our engine humming. By dropping Glimmerpoint Stag, we kick off a dance of temporary exiles that frees Fiend Hunter to repeatedly capture and release our targets. The magic happens because Preston, the Vanisher notices every time our pieces return uncast, churning out token copies of Fiend Hunter and Glimmerpoint Stag alike to keep the blinking, death triggers, and entry effects going infinitely.
