Ratadrabik of Urborg + Gollum, Patient Plotter + Woe Strider

Ratadrabik of Urborg

Gollum, Patient Plotter

Woe Strider

How it works

1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Gollum.
2. When Gollum dies, it and Ratadrabik trigger.
3. Resolve the Ratadrabik trigger, creating a nonlegendary token copy of Gollum that is a 2/2 Zombie in addition to its other types.
4. Resolve the Gollum trigger from step 2, causing the Ring to tempt you, and for the Gollum token to become your Ring-bearer, thus making it legendary.
5. Resolve the Woe Strider ability from step 1, causing you to scry 1.
6. Repeat.

This cunning loop turns Ratadrabik of Urborg into a recursive factory by exploiting how the Ring's temptation interacts with clone effects. When you use Woe Strider to sacrifice Gollum, Patient Plotter, Ratadrabik creates a nonlegendary 2/2 Zombie token copy of Gollum, while Gollum's own departure triggers the Ring to tempt you. By designating the Gollum token as your Ring-bearer, it temporarily gains legendary status, which neatly bypasses Ratadrabik's "nonlegendary" restriction for future iterations. This allows you to continually sacrifice the Gollum token to Woe Strider to fuel infinite death triggers, enter-the-battlefield triggers, and endless scry 1 operations.
