How it works

  1. Activate Sling-Gang Lieutenant by sacrificing Putrid Goblin.
  2. When Putrid Goblin dies, its persist ability and Gorma trigger.
  3. Resolve the Putrid Goblin trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to Gorma.
  4. Resolve the Gorma trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  5. Resolve the Sling-Gang Lieutenant ability.
  6. Repeat.

This insidious little loop turns a simple Goblin sacrifice into an endless cycle of doom, anchored by **Sling-Gang Lieutenant** draining your opponents while feeding on your own ranks. When you sacrifice **Putrid Goblin**, its persist mechanic would normally bring it back with a -1/-1 counter, but **Gorma, the Gullet** steps in with its passive ability to make nontoken creatures enter the battlefield with an extra +1/+1 counter for each creature that died this turn—instantly canceling out that -1/-1 counter upon return. Because **Gorma, the Gullet** also triggers on every death to grow larger while granting your board lifelink, you can repeatedly feed **Putrid Goblin** to **Sling-Gang Lieutenant** to drain the table dry and gain unbounded life in the process.
