Displacer Kitten blinks Eternal Witness on every spell cast, letting Witness chain Cabal Ritual and a second instant or sorcery back to hand in alternating loops. Threshold is the load-bearing constraint — eight cards in the graveyard turns Cabal Ritual's {1}{B} into {B}{B}{B}{B}{B}, netting three black each cycle. The combo lives in Sultai spellslinger or reanimator shells where Witness, a stocked bin, and a cantrip package make threshold trivial to hit.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have an instant or sorcery card in your graveyard that has legal targets and that can be cast using {B}{B}{B}. You have at least eight or more cards in your graveyard.

02

Steps

  1. Cast Cabal Ritual by paying {1}{B}.
  2. Displacer Kitten triggers, blinking Eternal Witness.
  3. When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning the other instant or sorcery from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Resolve Cabal Ritual, adding {B}{B}{B}{B}{B}.
  5. Cast the other instant or sorcery by paying its mana cost.
  6. Displacer Kitten triggers, blinking Eternal Witness.
  7. When Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Cabal Ritual from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Resolve the instant or sorcery.
  9. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite black mana; Cast a subset of spells in your graveyard; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Replace the second instant or sorcery with any spell that costs three or fewer black mana to keep the loop self-sustaining — Demonic Tutor fetches whatever piece is missing mid-game. Infinite storm closes with Tendrils of Agony recurred through the loop itself; infinite black mana closes with Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire as the sink, cast once the loop is locked.
