Kitchen Finks + Woe Strider + Archangel of Thune

Kitchen Finks

Woe Strider

Archangel of Thune

How it works

1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Kitchen Finks.
2. When Kitchen Finks dies, its persist ability triggers, returning Kitchen Finks from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Kitchen Finks enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
4. Archangel of Thune triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
5. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
6. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on Woe Strider acting as a reliable sacrifice outlet to feed Kitchen Finks back into the graveyard over and over. Thanks to persist, Kitchen Finks keeps returning from the dead with a -1/-1 counter, but every time it enters the battlefield, its triggered ability heals you for 2 life. That life gain instantly wakes up Archangel of Thune, whose static and triggered abilities shower your entire team with +1/+1 counters—including the Kitchen Finks itself. Those counters immediately cancel out the incoming -1/-1 counters, allowing the persist trigger to keep firing indefinitely while generating an endless storm of sacrifices, life, and massive creatures.
