How it works

  1. Cast Leonin Relic-Warder by paying W manaW mana.
  2. When Leonin Relic-Warder enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers.
  3. Holding priority, activate Parallax Wave by removing a fade counter from it, exiling Karmic Guide.
  4. Resolve the Leonin Relic-Warder trigger, exiling Parallax Wave.
  5. When Parallax Wave leaves the battlefield, it triggers.
  6. Holding priority, activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Leonin Relic-Warder.
  7. When Leonin Relic-Warder leaves the battlefield, its second ability triggers, returning Parallax Wave from exile to the battlefield.
  8. Resolve the Woe Strider ability, causing you to scry 1.
  9. Resolve the Parallax Wave trigger from step 5, returning Karmic Guide from exile to the battlefield.
  10. When Karmic Guide enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Leonin Relic-Warder from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  11. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop transforms Woe Strider and Parallax Wave into a self-sustaining engine of perpetual motion. By using Parallax Wave to temporarily exile Karmic Guide and Leonin Relic-Warder, you create a cascading wave of triggers where each card enters and leaves the battlefield anew. Woe Strider acts as the necessary sacrifice outlet to keep the loop rolling while letting you scry through your deck, turning the constant cycling of Karmic Guide and Leonin Relic-Warder into infinite entry, exit, and sacrifice triggers.
