    How it works

    Steps

When the Thopter enters the battlefield, Carnival of Souls and Sword of the Meek trigger. Resolve the Carnival of Souls trigger, adding {B} and causing you to lose 1 life.

  • Carnival of Souls + Krav, the Unredeemed + Orcish Bowmasters

    • Near-infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature
    • Near-infinite damage
    • Near-infinite lifegain triggers for all players

    Mana needed: 23 decks on Commander Spellbook

    How it works

    Before you start

    You have a way to give Orcish Bowmasters lifelink. You control at least one additional creature.

    Steps

    If needed, give Orcish Bowmasters lifelink. Activate Krav by paying {B} and sacrificing all Armies you control, or one other creature if you don't control an Army, causing an opponent to draw a card and gain 1 life for each creature sacrificed this way, and for you to put that many +1/+1 counters on Krav. Orcish Bowmasters triggers for each card drawn this way, dealing that much damage to any target and causing you to gain that much life, then creating a 0/0 Orc Army creature token and put a +1/+1 counter on it for each card drawn. When the Orc Army enters the battlefield, Carnival of Souls triggers, causing you to lose 1 life and add {B}. Repeat from step 2.
