How it works

  1. Activate Coercive Recruiter by tapping it, creating at least four 1/1 Elemental creature tokens with haste.
  2. When the Elementals enter the battlefield as Pirates due to Xenograft, Coercive Recruiter triggers four times.
  3. Resolve the first three triggers, causing you to gain control of up to three other creatures and untap them.
  4. Resolve the last trigger, untapping Coercive Recruiter.
  5. Repeat.
  6. You may also repeat this during each of your turns to gain control of all creatures during your turn.

This clever setup leverages Xenograft to radically rewrite the creature types of your entire board, ensuring every creature you control counts as a Pirate. With that foundational modification in place, Elemental Mastery can be enchanted onto Coercive Recruiter to gift it a tap ability that churns out massive swarms of hasty Elemental tokens scaled to its power. Because those tokens enter the battlefield as Pirates thanks to Xenograft, they immediately trigger Coercive Recruiter's ability to steal and untap creatures. By directing one of those resulting untap triggers back at Coercive Recruiter itself, you create an infinite loop that yields endless hasty tokens, endless enter-the-battlefield triggers, and total temporary control over every creature on the battlefield.
