How it works

  1. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Arcbound Shikari.
  2. When Arcbound Shikari enters the battlefield, it and Cathars' Crusade trigger.
  3. Resolve the Arcbound Shikari trigger, putting two +1/+1 counters on each other artifact creature you control.
  4. Resolve the Cathars' Crusade trigger, putting two +1/+1 counters on each creature you control.
  5. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability three times by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding 3.
  6. Repeat.

This elegant engine centers on repeatedly blinking Arcbound Shikari with Emiel the Blessed to continuously trigger Cathars' Crusade, flooding your board with endless +1/+1 counters. Winding Constrictor supercharges this entire process by amplifying every single counter placed on your creatures, while Crystalline Crawler acts as the ultimate battery—converting those rapidly multiplying counters into the exact mana needed to fuel Emiel the Blessed's ability over and over again.
