Steps

- When Phyrexian Delver and Gray Merchant die, Prowling Geistcatcher's first ability triggers twice, exiling Phyrexian Delver and Gray Merchant from your graveyard.
- Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Prowling Geistcatcher.
- When Prowling Geistcatcher dies, its second ability triggers, returning Phyrexian Delver and Gray Merchant from exile to the battlefield.
- When Phyrexian Delver and Gray Merchant enter the battlefield, they trigger.
- Resolve the Gray Merchant trigger, causing each opponent to lose an amount of life equal to your devotion to black, and causing you to gain life equal to the life lost this way.

- Repeat.
