Hammer of the Imperium

Self Mill as a Win Condition:

• Hermit Druid
• Dread Return
• Angel of Glory's Rise
• Saffi Eriksdotter
• Cartel Aristocrat
• Zulaport Cutthroat

Playing the combo: As long as Dread Return is in the library and all the creatures required for the combo are in play or your library then Hermit Druid can be activated for an instant win. The way the kill works is to have Zulaport Cutthroat and have Saffi Eriksdotter sacrifice itself, targeting Angel of Glory's Rise then sacrifice the angel to Cartel Aristocrat, reanimating all humans and allowing you to repeat this process until all players are dead.
