How it works

  1. Activate Mogg Raider 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 Mogg Raider ability.
  4. Repeat.

This loop is a masterclass in counter manipulation, turning Putrid Goblin's graveyard-skulking persistence into an endless cycle of sacrifice. Whenever you feed the goblin to Mogg Raider, its persist ability normally brings it back with a detrimental -1/-1 counter; however, Tromell, Seymour's Butler cleverly steps in to grant it an entering +1/+1 counter instead, which immediately annihilates the negative counter through state-based actions. This leaves our intrepid Goblin permanently pristine and ready to be sacrificed all over again, generating infinite death triggers and leaving Mogg Raider infinitely pumped until end of turn.
