Grim Poppet + Flourishing Defenses + Undercover Operative

Grim Poppet

Flourishing Defenses

Undercover Operative

How it works

1. Activate Grim Poppet by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Undercover Operative.
2. Flourishing Defenses triggers, creating a creature token.
3. Activate Undercover Operative by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Grim Poppet.
4. Flourishing Defenses triggers, creating a creature token.
5. Repeat.

This brilliant loop thrives on a perpetual exchange of counters between Grim Poppet and an extra copy of it, allowing you to generate an endless supply of bodies. By casting Undercover Operative to copy Grim Poppet, you double up on the ability to redistribute -1/-1 counters back and forth between the two creatures indefinitely without ever running out of fuel. Meanwhile, Flourishing Defenses sits passively on the battlefield watching these counters move, triggering on every single placement to flood your board with an infinite number of Elf Warrior tokens.
