The Jolly Balloon Man + Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor + Bounding Krasis

The Jolly Balloon Man

Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor

Bounding Krasis

How it works

1. Activate a mana-producing creature by tapping it, adding at least 1.
2. Activate The Jolly Balloon Man by paying 1 and tapping it, targeting the mana-producing creature.
3. Ertha Jo triggers, copying The Jolly Balloon Man's ability, targeting Bounding Krasis.
4. Resolve the copy of The Jolly Balloon Man's ability, creating a token copy of Bounding Krasis that is a 1/1 Balloon with haste.
5. When Bounding Krasis enters the battlefield, it triggers, untapping The Jolly Balloon Man.
6. Resolve the Jolly Ballon Man ability from step 2, creating a token copy of the mana-producing creature that is a 1/1 Balloon with haste.
7. Activate the mana-producing creature token by tapping it, adding at least 1.
8. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop uses Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor as a master copyist, turning The Jolly Balloon Man's activation into a multi-pronged engine that pulls Bounding Krasis into the fray. As The Jolly Balloon Man targets your mana producer for a hasty 1/1 copy, Ertha Jo, Frontier Mentor triggers to duplicate that very same ability and aim it squarely at Bounding Krasis. Each time the resulting token copy of Bounding Krasis hits the battlefield, its entry trigger untaps The Jolly Balloon Man so you can immediately repeat the process, turning an initial investment of mana into an endless cascade of tokens, triggers, and untapped potential.
