Archon of Falling Stars + Animate Dead + Woe Strider

Archon of Falling Stars

Animate Dead

Woe Strider

How it works

1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Archon of Falling Stars.
2. When Archon of Falling Stars dies, it triggers, returning Animate Dead from your graveyard to the battlefield.
3. When Animate Dead enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Archon of Falling Stars from your graveyard to the battlefield, and attaching Animate Dead to it.
4. Resolve the Woe Strider ability, causing you to scry 1.
5. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns Woe Strider into a selfless engine by feeding your own graveyard back onto the battlefield indefinitely. Whenever you sacrifice Archon of Falling Stars to Woe Strider's activated ability, the Archon's own dying trigger pulls Animate Dead out of the graveyard. In turn, Animate Dead's entry trigger brings Archon of Falling Stars right back, automatically reattaching itself to start the cycle anew. This endless dance generates infinite sacrifice, entry, and death triggers while letting you sift through your entire deck with infinite scry 1s.
