Infinite +1/+1 counters on certain creatures

How it works

  1. Cast Workhorse by paying 6.
  2. Activate Workhorse three times by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding CCC.
  3. Cast Crystalline Crawler by paying 4, using at least one colored mana if available.
  4. If Crystalline Crawler has a +1/+1 counter on it, activate its first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding 1.
  5. Activate Raucous Entertainer by paying 1 and tapping it, putting a +1/+1 counter on Crystalline Crawler, Workhorse and any other creature you control the entered the battlefield this turn.
  6. Activate Workhorse by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding C.
  7. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding U mana.
  8. Activate Freed from the Real's second ability by paying U mana, untapping Raucous Entertainer.
  9. Repeat from step 5.

This clever loop turns the natural counter-economy of artifacts into an infinite growth engine by pairing creatures that can sacrifice their own growth with a repeatable replenishment source. With Freed from the Real enchanting Raucous Entertainer, you can repeatedly untap the Entertainer by paying blue mana generated from Crystalline Crawler and Workhorse. As Raucous Entertainer taps, its ability places fresh +1/+1 counters back onto Crystalline Crawler and Workhorse, letting you constantly strip those counters away for mana and keep the engine turning indefinitely.
