  • Steps

    How does this combo work?

    • 1
      Cast a copy of Channel from exile by paying {g}{g}, unpreparing Yavimaya Bloomsage.
    • 2
      Use Channel's ability by paying 1 life, adding {c}.
    • 3
      When you lose life, Vilis triggers.
    • 4
      In response, activate Words of Worship by paying {1}, creating a replacement effect.
    • 5
      Resolve the Vilis trigger, causing you to gain 5 life instead of drawing a card due to the replacement effect.
    • 6
      Repeat from step 2 any number of times.
    • 7
      Once you have gained an arbitrarily high amount of life, you may use Channel's ability any number of times, adding colorless mana and drawing cards with Vilis.
    • 8
      Once you have drawn your library, you will have {c} for each card drawn this way.
    • 9
      You can then continue to use Channel, adding infinite {c}, as long as you have drawn a way to remove Vilis or can use the mana to win at instant speed before Vilis's triggers resolve and cause you to lose by drawing from an empty library.
