How it works

  1. Deal damage to Polyraptor.
  2. Polyraptor triggers, creating a token copy of it.
  3. The Polyraptor token enters the battlefield, triggering Forerunner of the Empire's second ability and Cathars' Crusade.
  4. Resolve the Cathars' Crusade trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
  5. Resolve the Forerunner of the Empire trigger, dealing 1 damage to each creature.
  6. Each Polyraptor you control triggers.
  7. Resolve a Polyraptor trigger, creating a token copy of it.
  8. Repeat from step 3.

This delightful loop relies on a self-sustaining ecosystem of damage, replication, and growth. Once you deal that initial spark of damage to Polyraptor, its enrage ability creates a fresh token copy of itself. The entry of that new dinosaur triggers Forerunner of the Empire to deal 1 damage to each creature, which in turn hits all your Polyraptors to spawn *more* copies. Meanwhile, Cathars' Crusade ensures that every creature you control grows larger with each iteration, insulating your army from the Forerunner's ping and compounding the explosive power of the combo.
