How it works

  1. Gain life.
  2. Heliod triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
  3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a creature token.
  4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Auriok Champion triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop begins with any initial lifegain, which allows Heliod, Sun-Crowned to trigger and place a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth. That sudden influx of power sparks Herd Baloth's own ability, birthing a 4/4 green Beast token and setting off Auriok Champion. Because Auriok Champion watches for any creature entering the battlefield, its triggered ability immediately rewards you with 1 life, feeding right back into Heliod, Sun-Crowned to perpetuate the cycle indefinitely.
