Putrid Goblin + Sling-Gang Lieutenant + Good-Fortune Unicorn

Putrid Goblin

Sling-Gang Lieutenant

Good-Fortune Unicorn

How it works

1. Activate Sling-Gang Lieutenant by sacrificing Putrid Goblin
2. When Putrid Goblin dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Putrid Goblin enters, Good-Fortune Unicorn triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Putrid Goblin.
4. Resolve the Sling-Gang Lieutenant ability.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop harnesses the natural synergy of persist and counter-placement to drain your opponents out of the game. By sacrificing Putrid Goblin to Sling-Gang Lieutenant, you trigger the Goblin's persist ability to bring it right back to the battlefield, where Good-Fortune Unicorn immediately steps in to cancel out the dreaded -1/-1 counter with a +1/+1 counter. Sling-Gang Lieutenant gladly accepts these endless offerings of sacrificed Goblins, turning each iteration into life drain for your opponents and life gain for you.
