Putrid Goblin + Sling-Gang Lieutenant + Tromell, Seymour's Butler

Putrid Goblin

Sling-Gang Lieutenant

Tromell, Seymour's Butler

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 without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Tromell.
3. Resolve the Sling-Gang Lieutenant ability.
4. Repeat.

This cunning loop turns the classic persist mechanic into an engine for endless carnage, anchored by Tromell, Seymour's Butler who ensures that Putrid Goblin enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter that immediately cancels out its incoming -1/-1 counter. Because the Goblin never actually accumulates the penalty counters that would normally stop its resurrection, it can be repeatedly thrown to Sling-Gang Lieutenant's sacrifice ability. Every single iteration of this cycle drains your opponents of their life total while continually fueling the sacrifice, death, and entry triggers you need to overwhelm the table.
