    How it works

    Before you start

    You have at least 7 life. You have at least three opponents. You control at least six additional creatures.

    Steps

    Cast Leshrac's Sigil by paying 4 life, enabled by K'rrik's ability. When you cast Leshrac's Sigil, each creature you control's extort ability from Pontiff of Blight triggers. Resolve an extort trigger by paying 2 life as enabled by K'rrik, causing each opponent to lose 1 life and gaining 3 life. Resolve seven additional extort triggers, netting 7 additional life. Activate Leshrac's Sigil's last ability by paying 4 life, returning it from the battlefield to your hand. Repeat.
