Ghave, Guru of Spores + Tribute to the World Tree + Phyrexian Altar

Ghave, Guru of Spores

Tribute to the World Tree

Phyrexian Altar

How it works

1. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
2. When the Saproling enters the battlefield, Tribute to the World Tree triggers, putting two +1/+1 counters on the Saproling.
3. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control.
4. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the Saproling, adding 1.
5. Resolve the Ghave ability, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
6. Repeat from step 2.

This elegant loop turns Ghave, Guru of Spores into a self-sustaining engine by cycling resources between counters and tokens. By using Phyrexian Altar to sacrifice your creatures for the exact mana needed to fuel Ghave's ability, you create a closed monetary loop that continuously generates death and sacrifice triggers. Meanwhile, Tribute to the World Tree acts as the crucial catalyst, transforming every newly born Saproling into a robust target by automatically packing it with fresh +1/+1 counters to sustain Ghave's cost.
