Grim Poppet + Sakashima of a Thousand Faces + Nest of Scarabs

Grim Poppet

Sakashima of a Thousand Faces

Nest of Scarabs

How it works

1. Activate Grim Poppet by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Sakashima of a Thousand Faces.
2. Nest of Scarabs triggers, creating a creature token.
3. Activate Sakashima of a Thousand Faces by removing a -1/-1 counter from it, putting a -1/-1 counter on Grim Poppet.
4. Nest of Scarabs triggers, creating a creature token.
5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop relies on a pair of mutating monsters and a relentless swarm to fuel an infinite cycle of decay and rebirth. By having Sakashima of a Thousand Faces enter as a copy of Grim Poppet, you bypass the legend rule and set up two identical creatures that can pass -1/-1 counters back and forth between themselves indefinitely. Each time a counter is moved, Nest of Scarabs watches the event and instantly rewards your tinkering by churning out a fresh 1/1 black Insect token.
