How it works

  1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Nether Traitor.
  2. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing another creature.
  3. When the creature dies, Nether Traitor triggers, causing you to pay B mana to return Nether Traitor from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. Kheru Goldkeeper and Insidious Roots triggers, creating a Treasure token, a 1/1 Plant creature token and putting a +1/+1 counter on each Plant you control.
  5. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
  6. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding B mana.
  7. Repeat.

This intricate graveyard loop is anchored by Woe Strider, whose sacrifice outlet feeds Nether Traitor directly into the graveyard to trigger its own revival for a single black mana. As Nether Traitor repeatedly leaves the graveyard, Kheru Goldkeeper and Insidious Roots both capitalize on this movement—Kheru Goldkeeper generates a Treasure token to help pay for the resurrection cost, while Insidious Roots conjures a Plant token and grows your board with permanent +1/+1 counters. Together, these pieces transform a simple sacrifice loop into a self-sustaining engine of infinite deaths, scry triggers, and escalating plant power.
