Ghave, Guru of Spores + Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest + Crystalline Crawler

Ghave, Guru of Spores

Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest

Crystalline Crawler

How it works

1. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability twice by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, adding 2.
2. Activate Ghave's first activated ability by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from any creature, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
3. Activate Ghave's last ability by paying 1 and sacrificing a Saproling token.
4. Mazirek triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creatures you control.
5. Resolve the Ghave ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on Crystalline Crawler.
6. Repeat.

This brilliant loop hinges on a self-sustaining cycle of creation, sacrifice, and growth that easily outpaces your opponents. By spending the mana generated when Crystalline Crawler sheds its counters to fund Ghave, Guru of Spores' ability to spawn a Saproling token, you set up the fodder needed to fuel Ghave's second ability. When you sacrifice that Saproling, Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest steps in to trigger its static ability, distributing +1/+1 counters across your entire board—replenishing Crystalline Crawler and keeping the engine roaring.
