Emiel the Blessed + Arcbound Shikari + Crystalline Crawler + Cathars' Crusade + Ozolith, the Shattered Spire

Emiel the Blessed

Arcbound Shikari

Crystalline Crawler

Cathars' Crusade

Ozolith, the Shattered Spire

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 loop is a masterclass in recursive synergy, anchored by Emiel the Blessed constantly exiling and returning Arcbound Shikari to the battlefield. Each blink triggers Cathars' Crusade, which floods your board with an escalating number of +1/+1 counters—a growth spurt supercharged by Ozolith, the Shattered Spire adding an extra counter to everything you control. Meanwhile, Crystalline Crawler happily feasts on these newly minted counters, converting them back into the mana required to fuel Emiel the Blessed's ability over and over again.
