How it works

  1. Cast Strength of Will by paying 1G mana, targeting Herd Baloth.
  2. Put a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
  3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a creature token.
  4. When the creature token enters, Pandemonium triggers, dealing damage to Herd Baloth.
  5. Herd Baloth triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  6. Repeat from step 3.

This ingenious loop relies on a clever bridge between creature damage and token generation, all centered around Herd Baloth. Once you prime the pump by casting Strength of Will on the Baloth to give it indestructible and the ability to grow from damage, every subsequent piece clicks into a self-sustaining cycle. Pandemonium provides the crucial trigger whenever your newly created tokens enter the battlefield, weaponizing their arrival to deal damage straight to your indestructible Herd Baloth. That incoming damage immediately triggers the Baloth's text, dropping another +1/+1 counter on it, which in turn sparks a fresh Herd Baloth trigger to birth another 4/4 Beast token and keep the loop roaring infinitely.
