Xavier Sal, Infested Captain + Intruder Alarm + Staff of Titania + Ior Ruin Expedition

Xavier Sal, Infested Captain

Intruder Alarm

Staff of Titania

Ior Ruin Expedition

How it works

1. Activate Xavier Sal by tapping it and removing a counter from a permanent you control, creating a token copy of the Forest Dryad token.
2. When the Forest Dryad enters the battlefield, Intruder Alarm and Ior Ruin Expedition trigger.
3. Resolve the Ior Ruin Expedition trigger, putting a counter on a creature you control.
4. Resolve the Intruder Alarm trigger, untapping all creatures.
5. Repeat.

This elegant engine lets Xavier Sal, Infested Captain tap to populate your existing Forest Dryad tokens by siphoning counters away from Ior Ruin Expedition, which steadily accrues quest counters with every single landfall trigger. Each newly created Forest Dryad acts as the catalyst for Intruder Alarm's static untap ability, immediately freeing Xavier Sal and your entire board to go again. Meanwhile, Staff of Titania passively scales your creatures' power with every Forest you control, ensuring that this dizzying loop of creature tokens, enter-the-battlefield triggers, and untaps converts your board state into an unstoppable force.
