Rowan, Scion of War + Stensian Sanguinist // Exsanguinate + Phyrexian Colossus

How it works

—

Activate Phyrexian Colossus by paying life.
Repeat step 1 as desired.
Activate Rowan by tapping it, reducing the cost of all black and/or red spells you cast this turn.
Cast a copy of Exsanguinate, choosing for X to equal the amount of life you've lost this turn, but paying a total of due to Rowan.
Resolve Exsanguinate, causing each opponent to lose X life, and you to gain life equal to the life lost this way.
