Lesser Masticore + Bartolomé del Presidio + Mm'menon, Uthros Exile

Lesser Masticore

Bartolomé del Presidio

Mm'menon, Uthros Exile

How it works

1. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Lesser Masticore.
2. When Lesser Masticore dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Lesser Masticore enters, Mm'menon triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Lesser Masticore.
4. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
5. Repeat.

This delightful loop turns the minor annoyance of a -1/-1 counter into an engine for limitless synergy by pairing Lesser Masticore with Bartolomé del Presidio, which happily devours the mechanical insect to trigger its persist ability again and again. While the Masticore constantly dies and returns to the battlefield, Mm'menon, Uthros Exile watches the endless stream of artifacts entering and instantly places a +1/+1 counter on the creature. Because game rules cause +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters to annihilate each other instantly, the Masticore arrives with a clean slate each time, bypassing its own restriction and generating infinite death and sacrifice triggers to fuel your victory.
