Grim Poppet + Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons + Flesh Duplicate

Grim Poppet

Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons

Flesh Duplicate

How it works

1. Activate Grim Poppet by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Flesh Duplicate.
2. Hapatra triggers, creating a creature token.
3. Activate Flesh Duplicate by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Grim Poppet.
4. Hapatra triggers, creating a creature token.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop sets up an endless cycle of distribution and recovery fueled by counter manipulation. With Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons watching the board, every single time a -1/-1 counter is placed on a creature, her second ability rewards you with a 1/1 green Snake token with deathtouch. Grim Poppet and Flesh Duplicate can then target one another back and forth, stripping and adding counters in a perpetual tango. Because Flesh Duplicate enters the battlefield copying a creature without vanishing, it conveniently inherits the ability to store and spend those same -1/-1 counters without the burden of time counters ending its lifespan prematurely.
