Prerequisites

You have a way to deal damage to an opponent.

Steps

  1. Attempt to deal damage to an opponent.
  2. The damage is replaced by The Mindskinner, instead causing each opponent to mill that many cards.
  3. Syr Konrad triggers for each creature card put into your graveyard.
  4. Resolve the first trigger, attempting to deal 1 damage to each opponent.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

How to execute this combo

The "The Mindskinner + Syr Konrad, the Grim" combo takes 5 steps in order. Make sure you have the mana open and permanents listed in the prerequisites before you start — opponents can respond between steps.

The end result: Near-infinite mill.

Practice the line offline: lay out the cards, walk through each step, and note where you can lose the combo (summoning sickness, lack of priority, removal on a key permanent). In game, announce each step clearly; in casual play you can offer to shortcut after demonstrating the loop.

The best window is a turn when opponents are tapped out or after they commit a spell — hold protection (a counter, Vexing Shusher) if the combo wins on the spot.
