Xavier Sal, Infested Captain + Herd Baloth + Thornbite Staff

Xavier Sal, Infested Captain

Herd Baloth

Thornbite Staff

How it works

1. Activate Xavier Sal's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing any other creature you control.
2. When the creature dies, Xavier Sal triggers, untapping Xavier Sal.
3. Resolve the Xavier Sal ability from step 1, putting a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
4. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a 4/4 Beast creature token.
5. Repeat.
6. Once you have infinite +1/+1 counters on Herd Baloth, you may instead use Xavier Sal's first ability to get infinite copies of creature tokens you control.

This loop turns Xavier Sal, Infested Captain into a relentless engine of growth by marrying Thornbite Staff's untap trigger with the token-spawning prowess of Herd Baloth. Whenever Xavier Sal sacrifices a creature to proliferate, Thornbite Staff untaps in response to that death, letting you immediately feed another counter into Herd Baloth. Each proliferation drops a +1/+1 counter on the Baloth, which in turn triggers its ability to birth a 4/4 Beast creature token—giving you a fresh sacrifice fodder to keep the cycle spinning infinitely.
