Famished Paladin + Presence of Gond + Impassioned Orator

Famished Paladin

Presence of Gond

Impassioned Orator

How it works

1. Tap Famished Paladin to create a 1/1 creature token.
2. The token ETBs, triggering Impassioned Orator and gaining you 1 life.
3. Famished Paladin triggers, untapping itself.
4. Repeat for infinite creature tokens.

This clever loop turns a simple Elf into a self-sustaining engine by uniting Presence of Gond with Famished Paladin's unique untap trigger. Because Famished Paladin doesn't untap naturally during your untap step, it relies entirely on the life you gain whenever Impassioned Orator reacts to the tokens entering the battlefield. Tapping the paladin to create a creature via the enchantment's granted ability triggers the orator's lifegain, which in turn untaps the paladin so you can immediately repeat the process.
