Infinite +1/+1 counters on most creatures you control

How it works

  1. Activate Leyline of Abundance by paying 6G manaG mana, putting four +1/+1 counters on each creature you control due to Benevolent Hydra and Innkeeper's Talent.
  2. Activate Devoted Druid's first ability by tapping it, adding G mana.
  3. Leyline of Abundance triggers, adding G mana.
  4. Activate Devoted Druid's second ability by putting a -1/-1 counter on it, untapping Devoted Druid.
  5. Repeat from step 2 three additional times.
  6. Repeat from step 1.

This magnificent transmutation centers around Devoted Druid, whose ability to tap for mana and untap by placing a -1/-1 counter on itself normally self-destructs, but is instead sustained and supercharged by the rest of our apparatus. Each time the Druid taps, Leyline of Abundance steps in to double our green mana production, fueling a rich reservoir that eventually lets us activate Leyline's own massive mana sink. When we do, Benevolent Hydra and a fully leveled Innkeeper's Talent act as our true catalysts, multiplying and magnifying every incoming counter so that our creatures grow exponentially rather than incrementally. It is a stunning cycle of growth and renewal, turning a humble druid's self-inflicted burden into boundless strength.
