Emiel the Blessed + Arcbound Shikari + Crystalline Crawler + Cathars' Crusade + Doubling Season

Emiel the Blessed

Arcbound Shikari

Crystalline Crawler

Cathars' Crusade

Doubling Season

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 intricate loop relies on Emiel the Blessed to continuously blink Arcbound Shikari, resetting its entrance trigger and feeding a cascading chain of permanent buffs. Every time Arcbound Shikari and Crystalline Crawler enter or are manipulated, Cathars' Crusade compounds the growth by pumping your entire board with extra counters, all while Doubling Season supercharges every counter-placement effect to ensure you net more resources than you spend. Finally, Crystalline Crawler acts as both a counter reservoir and your mana engine, letting you strip away its +1/+1 counters for {3} to pay for Emiel the Blessed's activation fee and keep the loop running infinitely.
