Muldrotha, the Gravetide lets The One Ring be recast from the graveyard as the artifact permanent type each turn; Arcbound Ravager provides the sacrifice outlet to send it back there before the protection lapses. The result is a soft lock — the pilot takes no damage and dodges most targeted removal indefinitely, though opponents still untap and develop their boards.

  3. The One Ring triggers, giving you protection from everything until your next turn.
  4. Repeat during each of your turns.

03

Result

Prevent all damage that would be dealt to you; You have protection from everything; Lock

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any free or cheap sacrifice outlet replaces Arcbound Ravager if the deck already runs Ashnod's Altar or Altar of Dementia. The loop doesn't win on its own, so pair it with a slow inevitability engine like The Abyss or Pernicious Deed to actually close the game while opponents can't interact with you.
