Xavier Sal, Infested Captain + Experiment Kraj + Cinderhaze Wretch + Kiora's Follower

Xavier Sal, Infested Captain

Experiment Kraj

Cinderhaze Wretch

Kiora's Follower

How it works

1. Activate Experiment Kraj using Cinderhaze Wretch's second ability by putting a -1/-1 counter on it, untapping it.
2. Activate Xavier Sal's first ability by tapping it and removing a -1/-1 counter from Experiment Kraj, creating a copy of any creature token you control.
3. Activate Experiment Kraj using Kiora's Follower's ability by tapping it, untapping Xavier Sal.
4. Repeat.

This intricate transmutation centers on Experiment Kraj, which grants itself the activated abilities of every other creature on your board carrying a +1/+1 counter. By borrowing Cinderhaze Wretch's untap ability—paid for by placing a -1/-1 counter directly onto Experiment Kraj—we can perpetually ready our apex creature for further actions. Meanwhile, Xavier Sal, Infested Captain steps in to strip away that burdensome -1/-1 counter with his first ability, neatly converting the removal into a Populate trigger that floods your board with copies of any creature token you control. Finally, Kiora's Follower provides the crucial mechanical grease by tapping to untap Xavier Sal, allowing the entire sequence to loop endlessly.
