Mikaeus, the Lunarch

Crystalline Crawler

Freed from the Real

Loading Zone

How it works

1. Activate Mikaeus' second ability by tapping it and removing a +1/+1 counter from it, putting two +1/+1 counters on each other creature you control.
2. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability twice by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, adding .
3. Activate Freed from the Real by paying , untapping Mikaeus.
4. Activate Mikaeus' first ability by tapping it, putting two +1/+1 counters on it.
5. Activate Freed from the Real by paying , untapping Mikaeus.
6. Repeat.

This clever setup turns counter manipulation into an infinite mana and growth engine, fueled by Loading Zone doubling every single +1/+1 counter you place on your board. With that replacement effect active, Mikaeus, the Lunarch distributes a surplus of counters when removing one for its ability, and Crystalline Crawler readily converts its freshly doubled counters into the mana needed to sustain the loop. Freed from the Real acts as the mechanical bridge, using that generated mana to continually untap Mikaeus so you can repeat the process indefinitely.
