Tarrian's Soulcleaver + Herd Baloth + Bartolomé del Presidio

Tarrian's Soulcleaver

Herd Baloth

Bartolomé del Presidio

How it works

1. Put a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
2. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a 4/4 Beast creature token.
3. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing the Beast.
4. When the Beast dies, Tarrian's Soulcleaver triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
5. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a 4/4 Beast creature token.
6. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
7. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop transforms a single pump on Herd Baloth into an infinite cascade of beasts and counters, perfectly sustained by the synergy between Bartolomé del Presidio and Tarrian's Soulcleaver. Once Herd Baloth receives its initial counter, its triggered ability creates a 4/4 Beast token that Bartolomé del Presidio is ready to sacrifice for a counter of its own. The moment that token heads to the graveyard, Tarrian's Soulcleaver triggers to place a brand-new +1/+1 counter right back on Herd Baloth, restarting the whole process.
