Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom + Herd Baloth + Sunbond

Lunarch Veteran // Luminous Phantom

Herd Baloth

Sunbond

How it works

1. Gain any amount of life.
2. Herd Baloth triggers, putting that many +1/+1 counters on itself.
3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a 4/4 Beast creature token.
4. When the Beast enters the battlefield, Lunarch Veteran triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This delightful loop relies on Sunbond granting its enchanted creature a massive feedback loop: whenever you gain life, that creature grows with +1/+1 counters. By enchanting Herd Baloth, every instance of lifegain triggers its counters ability, which in turn spawns a 4/4 green Beast token. That token's arrival triggers Lunarch Veteran's front face to grant you 1 life—restarting the entire cycle and allowing you to continuously pump Herd Baloth while Luminous Phantom safely waits in reserve.
