Color Identity: B, R

Initial Card State

  1.   Siege-Gang Lieutenant in hand or in your library.
  2.  Spellweaver Helix and Emeritus of Woe // Demonic Tutor on the battlefield.
  3.  Demonic Tutor and Extra Turn Sorcery in exile (exiled by Spellweaver Helix).

Easy Prerequisites

  1. Emeritus of Woe is prepared.

Notable Prerequisites

  1. You control your commander.

Mana Needed

  1. ({8} magic symbol)  ({B} magic symbol)  ({R} magic symbol)  , then ({5} magic symbol)  ({B} magic symbol)   each subsequent turn available.

Steps

  1. Cast the copy of Demonic Tutor from exile by paying ({1} magic symbol)  ({B} magic symbol)  , unpreparing Emeritus of Woe.
  2. When you cast that spell, Spellweaver Helix's last ability triggers, allowing you to cast a copy of the Extra Turn Sorcery without paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  3. Resolve the copy of Demonic Tutor, finding Siege-Gang Lieutenant and putting it into your hand.
  4. Cast Siege-Gang Lieutenant by paying ({3} magic symbol)  ({R} magic symbol)  .
  5. At the beginning of combat, Siege-Gang Lieutenant's first ability triggers, creating two 1/1/ red Goblin creature tokens with haste.
  6. Activate Siege-Gang Lieutenant's last ability twice by paying ({4} magic symbol)   and sacrificing both Goblin tokens, dealing 2 damage to any target.
  7. At the beginning of your end step, Emeritus of Woe triggers, preparing itself.
  8. Repeat each turn, finding any card of your choice in step 4 instead of Siege-Gang Lieutenant.

Notes

  1. If you are low on mana, you may be able to use your first several Demonic Tutors to find cheaper, one-off ways to prepare Emeritus of Woe, finding Siege-Gang Lieutenant once you have played enough lands to perform the loop.
