Repeatable Loop

Dakmor Salvage loop

Reviewed Research

A bounded repeatable land-discard engine that turns Dakmor Salvage cycling into Doom drain triggers while Surly Badgersaur helps pay for the next cycle.

Required Cards

Setup

  • Doctor Doom is under your control and can see the discard event.
  • Tectonic Reformation gives Dakmor Salvage cycling from hand.
  • Surly Badgersaur is under your control.
  • Dakmor Salvage is in hand and you can pay the red cycling cost.

At least one red mana to start cycling Dakmor Salvage.

Sequence

  1. Pay the red cycling cost and discard Dakmor Salvage as a land card.
  2. Doctor Doom sees one discard event that included a land card.
  3. Surly Badgersaur creates a Treasure from the land discard.
  4. Replace the cycling draw with Dakmor Salvage dredge to return it to hand.
  5. Use the Treasure or another red source to cycle Dakmor Salvage again while the library supports dredging.

Interruption Points

  • Remove Doctor Doom before the discard trigger resolves.
  • Remove Surly Badgersaur before the discard event.
  • Remove or shut off Tectonic Reformation before cycling is activated.
  • Exile Dakmor Salvage from the graveyard before dredge returns it.
  • Stop the loop when library size, graveyard hate, or available red mana cuts off dredge or cycling.

Doctor Doom, King of Latveria role: Doom is the payoff that turns each separate Dakmor Salvage discard event into the life-drain trigger.

Timing: Cycling can be activated at instant speed while Dakmor Salvage is in hand.

Rules notes: Doom triggers once for the cycling discard event because that event includes one land card. This line is repeatable, not published as an unbounded infinite combo. Discard event count: Doom triggers once when one discard event includes one or more land cards; simultaneous land discards do not create one trigger per land. Connive: Discarding a land to connive triggers Doom but does not add the connive counter.

Market caution

A verified combo explains a gameplay relationship. It does not prove that the combo is causing current price or inventory movement. Compare exact printing, condition, finish, seller depth, marketplace agreement, and Pricing Confidence separately.
