How it works

  1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Body Double.
  2. When Body Double leaves the battlefield, its Vesperlark ability triggers, returning itself from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Vesperlark.
  3. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
  4. Repeat.

This elegant loop hinges on a clever identity swap fueled by Woe Strider's sacrifice outlet. By casting Body Double as a copy of Vesperlark—or letting Vesperlark's leaves-the-battlefield trigger find Body Double waiting in the graveyard—you set up a recursive engine where the creature constantly enters as a Vesperlark and immediately triggers its own return ability when sacrificed. Woe Strider keeps the gear turning by providing both the necessary sacrifice mechanism and a steady supply of fodder, while letting you sculpt your draws with infinite scrys along the way.
