Aluren lets Saffi Eriksdotter re-enter for free each loop; Woe Strider is the free sacrifice outlet, and Eternal Witness stitches the engine together by returning Saffi to hand every time it enters off Saffi's death trigger. The table sees a resolved Aluren as the threat — counter or destroy it before the creature pieces assemble, because once all four are on board the game ends at instant speed.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

—

Steps

Activate Saffi by sacrificing it, targeting Eternal Witness.
Activate Woe Strider by sacrificing Eternal Witness.
When Eternal Witness dies, Saffi triggers, returning Eternal Witness from your graveyard to the battlefield.
When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Saffi from your graveyard to your hand.
Resolve the Woe Strider ability, causing you to scry 1.
Cast Saffi by paying due to Aluren.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite scry 1; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Viscera Seer or Carrion Feeder can replace Woe Strider as the free sacrifice outlet, though both lose the scry upside. The loop produces infinite storm count and ETBs but no direct damage on its own — close with Impact Tremors, Altar of Dementia, or a Blood Artist effect already in play.
