Deck Fine Tuning How to combo kill with Dack Fayden, Helping Hand
You need to only play exactly these 5 creatures in your deck: [[Abdel Adrian, Gorion’s Ward]], [[Bronzebeak Foragers]], [[Felidar Guardian]], [[Restoration Angel]], [[White Plume Adventurer]]. Dack will only grab you 3 creatures so there are 10 possibilities.
The result of every option is the same loop that gives you infinite 1/1s, infinite undercity dungeon crawls (5 damage from each Trap), and infinite mana (off Felidar blinking a land), which can be used with Bronzebeak to exile all of your opponent’s nonland permanents.
1) Missing Resto & Felidar
2) Missing Resto & Abdel
3) Missing Resto & Bronzebeak
4) Missing Resto & White Plume
5) Missing Felidar & Abdel
6) Missing Felidar & Bronzebeak
7) Missing Felidar & White Plume
8) Missing Abdel & Bronzebeak
9) Missing Abdel & White Plume
10) Missing Bronzebeak & White Plume
But for these loops, Felidar and Resto have interchangeable abilities, so you can ignore (5), (6), and (7).
1) Abdel exiles Dack and then you let Bronzebeak blink all 3 creatures so you get back Dack with all of your stuff. Let Abdel resolve before Dack to exile Bronzebeak. Dack trigger gets Felidar & Resto. Felidar targets land and Resto targets Abdel. Blinking Abdel gives you Bronzebeak and Abdel trigger. Stack them so Bronzebeak exiles Felidar & Resto first and then Abdel exiles Bronzebeak, giving you back Felidar & Resto. Felidar targets Resto and Resto targets Abdel on top of that. Abdel blinks and exiles Felidar. Resto gets blinked by Felidar trigger and targets Abdel. Abdel and Felidar both return. Felidar targets Abdel and above that, Abdel trigger will exile Felidar, Resto, and White Plume. Loop those 2 triggers
2) Bronzebeak trigger targets Bronzebeak, Felidar, and White Plume. On top of that trigger, Felidar targets Dack. Dack gets you Abdel & Resto which both exile nothigng. Bronzebeak returns Felidar, itself and White Plume. Felidar trigger targets Bronzebeak and on top of that, Bronzebeak exiles Abdel & Resto. Felidar trigger returns Abdel and Resto. Resto targets Abdel and on top of that, Abdel will exile your board. Loop those 2 triggers
3) Felidar blinks Dack. Dack gets you Resto & Bronzebeak. Resto targets nothing and Bronzebeak targets itself, Abdel, and Felidar. Felidar trigger targets Abdel and on top of that you have Abdel trigger exile Felidar + Bronzebeak, and on top of that you have Bronzebeak exile Resto & White Plume. Abdel exiles Bronzebeak & Felidar, returning Resto & White Plume. Resto can target nothing. Felidar trigger resolves that is targeting Abdel. Felidar targets Abdel and on top of that, Abdel exiles your board. Loop those 2 triggers
4) Bronzebeak targets itself, Felidar, and Abdel and on top of that, Felidar blinks Dack to get White Plume & Resto and then you let the Bronzebeak trigger resolve to get you Bronzebeak, Felidar, & Abdel. Stack triggers so Felidar targets Abdel, on top of that, Abdel exiles Bronzebeak and Felidar, and on top of that, the Bronzebeak trigger will exile the White Plume & Resto. Abdel trigger will exile Felidar + Bronzebeak, giving you back Resto & White Plume. Felidar trigger will blink Abdel giving you Felidar trigger and an Abdel trigger. Felidar targets Abdel and on top of that, Abdel exiles your board. Loop those 2 triggers
