Ghave, Guru of Spores + Cryptic Trilobite + Hardened Scales + Conclave Mentor

Ghave, Guru of Spores

Cryptic Trilobite

Hardened Scales

Conclave Mentor

How it works

1. Activate Cryptic Trilobite's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding CC that can only be spent to activate abilities.
2. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from Cryptic Trilobite, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
3. Activate Ghave's second ability by paying 1 and sacrificing the Saproling token, putting three +1/+1 counters on Cryptic Trilobite.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a single activation of Cryptic Trilobite into an endlessly self-sustaining engine of growth and token generation. By leveraging Ghave, Guru of Spores to convert those counters into Saproling tokens and subsequently sacrifice them to return even more counters, you create a closed-loop economy. The secret amplifiers behind this infinite cycle are Hardened Scales and Conclave Mentor, whose static replacement effects ensure that every time Ghave puts counters back onto Cryptic Trilobite, it receives significantly more than it spent, yielding a massive surplus of both mana and creature tokens.
