How it works

  1. Cast Apex Altisaur by paying 7G manaG mana.
  2. When Apex Altisaur enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers.
  3. Holding priority, cast Ajani's Presence by paying 2W manaW mana, giving Apex Altisaur and any creature an opponent controls +1/+1 and indestructible until end of turn.
  4. Resolve the Apex Altisaur trigger, causing Apex Altisaur to fight the indestructible creature the opponent controls.
  5. Apex Altisaur's second ability triggers, and Fall of Cair Andros triggers if the opposing creature's toughness is less than 0.
  6. Resolve the Fall of Cair Andros trigger, if applicable, causing you to put a number of +1/+1 counters on an Army you control equal to the excess damage.
  7. Resolve the Apex Altisaur trigger, causing it to fight the indestructible creature the opponent controls.
  8. Repeat from step 5.

This clever loop relies on the continuous fighting power of Apex Altisaur to repeatedly brawl with an opposing creature. To keep your dinosaur from dying in the process, Ajani's Presence steps in to grant both combatants indestructible until end of turn, ensuring Apex Altisaur survives to trigger its Enrage ability over and over again. Meanwhile, Fall of Cair Andros watches from the enchantment slot, capitalizing on the creature's zero-toughness state during these fights to repeatedly amass Orcs and pile infinite +1/+1 counters onto your Army.
