How it works

  1. Donate Blightbeetle to an opponent
  2. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing the undying creature.
  3. When the undying creature dies, its undying ability triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield without a +1/+1 counter on it due to Blightbeetle.
  4. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns an opponent's defense against them by using Wrong Turn to hand over Blightbeetle, whose static ability prevents your opponents' creatures from ever receiving +1/+1 counters. With Blightbeetle permanently shutting down those counters on the opposing side of the table, any creature you control with undying that you feed to Woe Strider's sacrifice ability will loop infinitely. Woe Strider itself facilitates this endless cycle by providing a reliable sacrifice outlet while letting you sculpt your draws with repeatable scry triggers.
