Mindless Automaton + Iron Man, Armored Avenger + Bard, King of Dale

Mindless Automaton

Iron Man, Armored Avenger

Bard, King of Dale

How it works

1. Activate Mindless Automaton by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, causing you to draw two cards.
2. Iron Man triggers twice, putting two +1/+1 counters on Mindless Automaton
3. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the mechanical self-sufficiency of Mindless Automaton into an explosive engine by relying on Iron Man, Armored Avenger to continuously replenish its fuel. Whenever you remove counters from the Automaton to draw, Iron Man's triggered ability steps in to place two new +1/+1 counters right back onto it. Meanwhile, Bard, King of Dale acts as a powerful amplifier for the entire sequence, supercharging your card draw so that you generate a net surplus of cards with every single iteration.
