Putrid Goblin + Sling-Gang Lieutenant + Zameck Guildmage

Putrid Goblin

Sling-Gang Lieutenant

Zameck Guildmage

How it works

1. Activate Zameck Guildmage's first ability by paying .
2. Activate Sling-Gang Lieutenant by sacrificing Putrid Goblin.
3. When Putrid Goblin dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Zameck Guildmage.
4. Resolve the Sling-Gang Lieutenant ability.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns Zameck Guildmage’s static-buffing activation into the ultimate counterbalance for the grave-bound drawback of Putrid Goblin. By ensuring the Goblin returns from its persist trigger with a +1/+1 counter instead of a -1/-1 counter, Zameck Guildmage cancels out the counter state entirely and lets the Goblin keep dying indefinitely. Meanwhile, Sling-Gang Lieutenant sits back and capitalizes on that endless cycle, turning every single sacrifice of Putrid Goblin into an infinite stream of life drain.
