Archangel of Thune + Verdant Sun's Avatar + Herd Baloth

Archangel of Thune

Verdant Sun's Avatar

Herd Baloth

How it works

1. Gain life.
2. Archangel of Thune triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a creature token.
4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Verdant Sun's Avatar triggers, causing you to gain 4 life.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This loop is a masterclass in compounding synergy, turning a single instance of lifegain into an escalating cascade of power. It all hinges on Archangel of Thune, whose static lifegain trigger acts as the engine, turning any initial life boost into a blanket distribution of +1/+1 counters across your entire board. Those counters directly awaken Herd Baloth, which dutifully spits out a 4/4 Beast token every time it receives them. Finally, that entering token triggers Verdant Sun's Avatar, which rewards you with 4 life based on its toughness—instantly feeding right back into the Archangel to restart the entire sequence.
