Infinite +1/+1 counters on most creatures you control

How it works

  1. Activate Leyline of Abundance by paying 6G manaG mana, putting four +1/+1 counters on each creature you control due to Shang-Chi and Branching Evolution.
  2. Activate Devoted Druid's first ability by tapping it, adding G mana.
  3. Leyline of Abundance triggers, adding G mana.
  4. Activate Devoted Druid's second ability by putting a -1/-1 counter on it, untapping Devoted Druid.
  5. Repeat from step 2 three additional times.
  6. Repeat from step 1.

This brilliant sequence hinges on Devoted Druid generating two green mana per tap thanks to the mana-doubling static ability of Leyline of Abundance, which more than covers the cost of untapping itself with a -1/-1 counter. By periodically pumping massive piles of +1/+1 counters onto your board, you cancel out those accumulated -1/-1 counters while exponentially amplifying the growth using the replacement effects of both Branching Evolution and Shang-Chi, Martial Mentor. The result is a compounding loop that leaves your entire team infinitely large and ready to overwhelm the table.
