Verdant Sun's Avatar + Crystalline Crawler + Sunbond + Ancestral Statue

Verdant Sun's Avatar

Crystalline Crawler

Sunbond

Ancestral Statue

How it works

1. Cast Ancestral Statue by paying 4.
2. When Ancestral Statue enters the battlefield, it and Verdant Sun's Avatar trigger.
3. Resolve the Ancestral Statue trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
4. Resolve the Verdant Sun's Avatar triggers, causing you to gain life equal to Ancestral Statue's toughness.
5. Crystalline Crawler triggers, putting four +1/+1 counters on itself.
6. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability four times by removing four +1/+1 counters from it, adding 4.
7. Repeat.

This self-sustaining loop turns the constant casting of Ancestral Statue into a veritable engine of growth, fueled entirely by the life-generating presence of Verdant Sun's Avatar. As the Statue repeatedly enters the battlefield and bounces itself back to your hand, every single arrival triggers Sunbond—which is enchanted to Crystalline Crawler—to pile on +1/+1 counters in response to your mounting lifegain. You can then cash in those very same counters via Crystalline Crawler's mana ability to completely pay for the next casting of Ancestral Statue, keeping the cycle spinning indefinitely.
