How it works

  1. Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Thorin.
  2. When Thorin dies, Nim Deathmantle triggers, causing you to pay 4 to return Thorin from your graveyard to the battlefield and attach Nim Deathmantle to it.
  3. When Thorin enters, it triggers, attaching Nim Deathmantle to Raphael, and then having Raphael deal 6 damage to itself.
  4. Raphael triggers, adding six R mana.
  5. Resolve the Woe Strider ability.
  6. Repeat.

This elegant loop begins by feeding Thorin, Mountain-king to Woe Strider's sacrifice outlet, triggering Nim Deathmantle to resurrect Thorin and reattach itself. As Thorin enters the battlefield, its ability fires to snap Nim Deathmantle over to Raphael, Ninja Destroyer, simultaneously forcing Raphael to deal damage to itself. That self-inflicted damage triggers Raphael's enrage ability to generate a massive influx of red mana, which easily funds the Nim Deathmantle resurrection cost while leaving plenty of mana to spare.
