Stalwart Successor + Woe Strider + Kithkin Spellduster

Stalwart Successor

Woe Strider

Kithkin Spellduster

How it works

1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Kithkin Spellduster
2. When Kithkin Spellduster dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Kithkin Spellduster enters, Stalwart Successor triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Kithkin Spellduster
4. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Kithkin Spellduster into an immortal sacrifice engine by playing on the precise interaction between its persist ability and Stalwart Successor. Whenever Kithkin Spellduster enters the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter from persist, Stalwart Successor steps in to place a +1/+1 counter on it, which immediately neutralizes the -1/-1 counter through state-based actions and clears the way for the process to repeat. Meanwhile, Woe Strider acts as the catalyst by feeding on Kithkin Spellduster’s repeated sacrifices, granting you infinite scry triggers and fuel for whatever payoff you desire.
