Cabal Ritual's threshold mode funds both itself and Saw in Half on the same loop iteration; Saw in Half destroys Eternal Witness and replaces it with two tokens, each of which triggers to return Saw in Half and Cabal Ritual to hand. The combo lives in black-green storm and spellslinger shells — anything running Chatterstorm or Tendrils of Agony as a closer already wants the storm count this produces.

How it works

Prerequisites

You have at least seven cards in your graveyard.

Steps

Cast Cabal Ritual by paying , adding .
Cast Saw in Half by paying , destroying Eternal Witness and creating two token copies of it with base power equal to half the destroyed creature's power and base toughness equal to half the destroyed creature's toughness, rounding up each time.
When the Eternal Witness tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Saw in Half and Cabal Ritual from your graveyard to your hand.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite creature tokens; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite storm count

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The seven-card graveyard requirement for threshold is the real setup cost — Entomb, Faithless Looting, or any self-mill package gets there fast. The loop doesn't kill on its own, so pair it with Tendrils of Agony for infinite life loss, Altar of the Brood for infinite mill, or any damage-on-death trigger already in the graveyard; the storm count is live, the kill is whatever black-green already runs.
