How it works

  1. Activate a creature by tapping it, adding at least 1.
  2. Tap Spider-Gwen using any free method.
  3. Spider-Gwen triggers, causing you to rummage.
  4. Nadir Kraken triggers, causing you to pay 1 to put a +1/+1 counter on it and create a 1/1 Tentacle creature token.
  5. When the Tentacle enters, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures.
  6. Repeat.

This brilliant loop transforms the rhythmic tapping of Spider-Gwen, Free Spirit into an engine of endless iteration, using her self-rummaging ability to trigger Nadir Kraken. Every time the Kraken draws you a card, you pay the required {1} to grow it with a +1/+1 counter and spawn a 1/1 Tentacle creature token. That token's arrival immediately satisfies Intruder Alarm, whose global untap trigger refreshes all of your creatures—including Spider-Gwen, Free Spirit and any mana producer—so you can tap them all over again. By filtering through your deck this way, you create an overwhelming board presence of Tentacle tokens while churning through your entire library.
