Persist Infinite Combos

• Murderous Redcap + Grumgully, the Generous/Rhythm of the Wild/Renata, Called to the Hunt + sac outlet
• Lesser Masticore/Putrid Goblin/Rendclaw Trow + Grumgully/Rhythm/Renata + Zulaport Cutthroat/Mayhem Devil + sac outlet
• Persist creature + Grumgully/Rhythm/Renata + Goblin Bombardment

Show

• I control Murderous Redcap, Grumgully, the Generous and Viscera Seer.
• Seer sacs Redcap.
• Redcap ETB because of persist and does 1 damage to an opponent.
• Grumgully puts a +1/+1 counter on Redcap which cancels the -1/-1 counter from persist.
• Repeat sacing Redcap with Seer.

For the combo a persist creature needs a source of +1/+1 counter when it ETB to cancel out the -1/-1 counter from persist: Grumgully, the Generous/Rhythm of the Wild/Renata, Called to the Hunt. The persist combos trigger Korvold to draw as much of my library as I want making Korvold huge with counters. Korvold draws the last piece of the combo if I need a win condition or instant protection for the combo.

The win condition of these combos is infinite damage or life lose of opponents. Goblin Bombardment is best win condition because it's also a sac outlet making the combo easier to assemble by reducing it a whole card. Murderous Redcap is the best persist creature because it's ETB is also a win condition with any sac outlet. Lesser Masticore/Putrid Goblin/Rendclaw Trow can replace Redcap with Bombardment as sac outlet. Any other sac outlet can replace Bombardment then Zulaport Cutthroat/Mayhem Devil is the win condition. Redcap when it ETB can do it's damage to itself to die, acting as a sac outlet which can be used if I control Cutthroat/Mayhem.

Since Korvold's draw ability is not a may, I have to draw, it's very important that I sac Korvold before I infinite persist to win. If I don't I will draw the rest of my library and lose the game from drawing from an empty library.

Single Cards to Repeatedly Trigger Korvold

Any one of these cards can create a permanent to sac to fuel Korvold to attack on my turn.

• Reanimate itself: Reassembling Skeleton, Flamewake Phoenix, Rekindling Phoenix
• Return to my hand after saced to cast again: Rancor, Aspect of Mongoose
• Source of repeatable creature tokens: Dreadhorde Invasion, Scute Swarm
• Source of repeatable artifact tokens: Tireless Provisioner, Tireless Tracker, Gala Greeters
• Play land from graveyard: Ramunap Excavator

Card Interactions to Repeatedly Trigger Korvold

Outside of the persist combos there's other ways to repeatedly trigger Korvold.

• Gala Greeters + Stimulus Package = trigger Korvold and create a Citizen on each player's turn.
• Flamewake Phoenix/Rekindling Phoenix + Riveteers Ascendancy = trigger Korvold on my turn and reanimate a one/two drop or one/two/three drop creature.

Gala Greeters + Stimulus Package, new combo from Streets of Capenna, is a sac value engine that creates a Citizen on each player's turn resulting in lots of Korvold triggers and creating a lot of creature sac fuel. When the tapped treasure is saced by Package it creates a Citizen which triggers Greeters to create a tapped treasure and repeat the next turn.

Riveteers Ascendancy interacts well with persist and Korvold's ability to sac a creature. A sac outlet can sac a persist creature once on each player's turn for reanimation value. When paired with Rekindling Phoenix/Flamewake Phoenix then I can repeatedly once my turn reanimate a one/two drop or one/two/three drop who can sac while being tapped such as Sakura-Tribe Elder, Outland Liberator  , Plaguecrafter. I have to sac the Elemental 0/1 R at my upkeep to reanimate Rekindling which is another permanent to repeat sac on my turn.
