How it works

  1. Gain life.
  2. Cleric Class triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Basking Broodscale.
  3. Basking Broodscale triggers, creating a creature token.
  4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Answered Prayers triggers, causing you to gain 2 life.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop sets off a perpetual motion machine of growth and sacrifice, turning any initial life gain into an overwhelming board state. Once **Cleric Class** is advanced to its second level, it acts as the bridge that converts life into power: every time you gain life, it places a +1/+1 counter on **Basking Broodscale**. That counter then triggers Basking Broodscale's ability to spawn a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token, which immediately drops onto the battlefield and satisfies **Answered Prayers**. Answered Prayers responds by granting you life, which loops right back into Cleric Class to start the whole sequence over again.
