Gev, Scaled Scorch + Bloodflow Connoisseur

Gev, Scaled Scorch

Bloodflow Connoisseur

How it works

1. Activate Bloodflow Connoisseur by sacrificing the creature with persist.
2. The persist ability triggers, returning that creature to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it, as well as a +1/+1 counter due to Gev.
3. The +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on that creature are removed as a state-based action.
4. Resolve the ability from step 1, putting a +1/+1 counter on Bloodflow Connoisseur.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a simple sacrifice outlet into an engine of endless growth. By using Bloodflow Connoisseur to continuously devour a creature with persist, you set up a perpetual motion machine where that creature keeps returning to the battlefield. Gev, Scaled Scorch plays a crucial passive role here, ensuring that each time your creature comes back, it enters with a +1/+1 counter that immediately cancels out its lingering -1/-1 counter through state-based actions. This leaves the creature's slate clean to be sacrificed over and over again, pumping Bloodflow Connoisseur to infinite power while generating boundless death and sacrifice triggers.
