Initial Card State

  1.  Deflecting Swat in hand.
  2.  Confusion in the Ranks on the battlefield.
  3.   Venser in hand or in the command zone.

Easy Prerequisites

  1. An opponent controls two targetable creatures.

Mana Needed

  1. four generic manaone red manaone red mana plus commander tax if applicable plus two generic manaone red mana if you don't control a commander available.

Steps

  1. Cast Venser by paying four generic manaone red manaone red mana plus commander tax if applicable.
  2. When Venser enters, it triggers targeting any applicable target, and Confusion of the Ranks also triggers targeting a creature an opponent controls.
  3. Resolve the Confusion of the Ranks trigger, exchanging control of Venser and the targeted creature.
  4. Holding priority, cast Deflecting Swat by paying at most two generic manaone red mana, changing the target of Venser's trigger to Venser.
  5. Resolve Venser's ability, creating two token copies of it with haste.
  6. Put all but one Venser token into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
  7. The Venser tokens' abilities each trigger, with one trigger targeting the nontoken Venser and the other ability targeting any valid target.
  8. Resolve the Venser ability not targeting Venser, creating two copies of the chosen permanent with haste.
  9. Resolve the other Venser ability, creating two token copies of Venser with haste.
  10. Repeat from step 6.

Notes

  1. Additional results can be provided by the permanent you decide to copy in step 8, including landfall triggers and artifact ETB. You can forego Deflecting Swat's mana cost if you either control a commander or if an opponent controls a commander that you can swap control of Venser with. If Venser is your commander, it won't reduce Deflecting Swat's cost as you swap control of Venser prior to casting Deflecting Swat.

  2. Infinite artifact tokens.
  3. Infinite creature ETB.
  4. Infinite creature LTB.
  5. Infinite creature tokens with haste.
