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. Workhorse triggers, putting four +1/+1 counters on itself.
6. Activate Workhorse four times by removing four +1/+1 counters from it, adding CCCC.
7. Repeat.

This delightful loop centers on enchanting Workhorse with Sunbond, turning every instance of life gain into a massive pile of new +1/+1 counters to fuel its ability to generate colorless mana. With that mana engine established, you can cast Ancestral Statue repeatedly; its entry triggers Verdant Sun's Avatar to grant you a burst of life, which in turn triggers Sunbond to pump up Workhorse even further. Meanwhile, Ancestral Statue's own triggered ability forces you to return it right back to your hand, allowing you to recast it and keep the chain going indefinitely.
