Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Herd Baloth + Lifecreed Duo

Heliod, Sun-Crowned

Herd Baloth

Lifecreed Duo

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, Lifecreed Duo triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop kicks off the moment you gain a single point of life, inviting Heliod, Sun-Crowned to place a +1/+1 counter onto Herd Baloth. That influx of power immediately satisfies Herd Baloth's trigger condition, bringing a 4/4 green Beast token into existence. The arrival of that new token doesn't go unnoticed, as Lifecreed Duo watches over the battlefield and rewards each entering creature with another crucial pip of lifegain. That fresh life closes the loop by feeding right back into Heliod, Sun-Crowned, sustaining an endless cycle of compounding counters, creeping tokens, and surging life totals.
