Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Steps
Activate Outrider en-Kor by paying {0}, targeting Task Force. Task Force triggers, giving itself +0/+3 until end of turn. Resolve Outrider en-Kor's ability, causing the next one damage dealt to Outrider en-Kor this turn to be dealt to Task Force instead. Repeat an arbitrarily large number of times. Cast Severed Strands by paying {1}{B} and sacrificing Task Force, causing you to gain life equal to Task Force's toughness and destroy target creature an opponent controls.
