How it works

  1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Gravecrawler.
  2. When Gravecrawler dies, Bhaal triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Crystalline Crawler.
  3. Resolve the Woe Strider ability, causing you to scry 1.
  4. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding B mana.
  5. Cast Gravecrawler from your graveyard by paying B mana.
  6. Repeat.

This looping engine turns a humble skeleton into a relentless sacrifice machine, fueled entirely by Woe Strider acting as a reliable outlet to bin and repeat the process. Gravecrawler provides the fodder that keeps returning from the graveyard, made castable because Woe Strider and its accompanying Goat token keep a Zombie on your board at all times. Meanwhile, Bhaal, Lord of Murder watches the carnage and uses every death to grow Crystalline Crawler by feeding it a +1/+1 counter. That counter is immediately cashed in for the black mana needed to recast Gravecrawler, sustaining the loop indefinitely while Crystalline Crawler converts the cycle into infinite sacrifice triggers, scry depth, and storm count.
