  • Steps

    How does this combo work?

    • 1
      Cast Necromancy by paying {2}{b}.
    • 2
      When Necromancy enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Astral Dragon from your graveyard to the battlefield, and then attaching Necromancy to Astral Dragon.
    • 3
      When Astral Dragon enters the battlefield, it triggers, creating two token copies of Necromancy that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to their other types.
    • 4
      When the Necromancy tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, with at least one trigger targeting Mirror Image.
    • 5
      Resolve the first Necromancy trigger, returning Mirror Image from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Astral Dragon, and not attaching Necromancy to Mirror Image due to Necromancy being a creature.
    • 6
      The Necromancy Aura creature token is put into your graveyard as a state-based action due to being an Aura that is unattached.
    • 7
      The Necromancy token leaves-the-battlefield ability triggers, as well as Mirror Image's enters-the-battlefield ability.
    • 8
      Resolve the Necromancy trigger, causing you to sacrifce Mirror Image.
    • 9
      Resolve the Mirror Image trigger, creating two token copies of Necromancy that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to their other types.
    • 10
      Repeat from step 4.
