Archangel of Thune + Herd Baloth + Auriok Champion

Archangel of Thune

Herd Baloth

Auriok Champion

How it works

1. Gain life.
2. Archangel of Thune triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a creature token.
4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Auriok Champion triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This loop transforms a single instance of lifegain into an unstoppable cascade of growth and reinforcement, legal across Commander, Legacy, Modern, Oathbreaker, and Vintage. The engine relies on Archangel of Thune to translate any lifegain into a sweeping distribution of +1/+1 counters across your board. Those counters act as the catalyst for Herd Baloth, which dutifully spawns a 4/4 green Beast token each time it receives them. Finally, Auriok Champion sits quietly on the battlefield watching the menagerie grow, triggering its passive life-modifying ability with every new arrival to continuously feed back into the Archangel's buff.
