Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"All Modes Paid Lively Dirge on the stack, sac a red creature to cast flare of duplication copying the spell. Search and return an ardent elementalist returning flare, cast flare saccing elementalist to copy it again searching up gadrak but still returning elementalist to return flare. On the third go around grab any instant speed fireball effect, and you've now demonstrated a loop. From here you can fail to find in order to save time and just rack up 21 death triggers, on the last iteration use elementalist to return the fireball effect, and use the original copy of lively dirge to return gadrak. Go to your end step, get 21 treasures and blast your opponent's face.\n\nDefinitely a cute combo that's probably not worth playing past an FNM but I think with lively dirge as the main combo piece you can afford to trim on the bad combo cards, potentially only playing 1 elementalist (so long as you have enough other non-token red creatures) and you're in rakdos which gives you access to scam and other generally good cards.\n"}]}
