Help with infinite recursion EDH
Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 23, 2014, 6:53 p.m. by ALX
I have been trying to construct an EDH deck based on this interaction: something like Flayer of the Hatebound + a sac outlet + a creature which will infinitely recur (undying/persist) for infinite damage. There are two decks I've been toying with: The Mass Sacker and Sacrifice to Slay which give many examples of combos in their descriptions. I'm thinking of using Prossh, Skyraider of Kher as a general but before I spend anymore money I'd love some constructive criticism on whether this concept is even viable. Specifically, if there is a general you might recommend or any ways to pull this off...?

Both cards have already been mentioned, but if you run Melira, Sylvok Outcast and/or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed alongside persist creatures you can infinitely sac them, Melira prevents the -1/-1 counter from being placed on the creature, while Mikaeus allows you to alternate between returning them with the undying trigger and persist trigger. If you want something in white you could run any number of the Enduring Renewal sac combos, sac Memnite or Ornithopter to (insert sac outlet here), creature returns to hand, play it again for the 0 cost and sac it as much as you want, doesn't work in Prossh, Skyraider of Kher colors, but still works.

With Melira, Sylvok Outcast in the deck, persist + sac outlet is also infinite without also needing to shenanigan Cauldron of Souls or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Makes for fewer cards in several of your combos.
