Umbral Collar Zealot, two Perigee Beckoner, Vengeful Bloodwitch and Al Bhed Salvagers card combo is broken
Dear MTGA Representative,
Good day. I hope you are well.
My current MTGA version is: 2025.51.0.9591.1173794
I encountered an opponent who used a combo that I do not think is a balanced option to have in the current meta.
He had an Umbral Collar Zealot on the board first. Then on later turns they got two Perigee Beckoners out. They used the enter ability of the Perigee Beckoner cards to make the other Perigee Beckoner have the "if this creature dies, return it to the field from the graveyard tapped" and sacrificed the other Perigee Beckoner with the Umbral Collar Zealot. Then the sacrificed Perigee Beckoner would return to the field and they could choose the other Perigee Beckoner to have the same "return to field ability." They essentially chained this combo over and over again on the same turn. Along with the Vengeful Bloodwitch and Al Bhed Salvagers cards it caused me to lose two life everytime they sacrificed a Perigee Beckoner. And wore me down from around 14 life to 2 on a single turn. I conceded the game before they could finish their devastating infinite combo.
To me this seems like an unfair combo that cannot be countered if someone has these five creature cards on the board.
Please, at least nerf the Umbral Collar Zealot so that the "sacrifice a creature" ability costs some Swamp mana. Maybe one swamp and two other mana of any color would be more balanced.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
May God bless you.
Gratefully,
Stephen
