How it works

  1. Gain life.
  2. Light of Promise triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Herd Baloth.
  3. Herd Baloth triggers, creating a creature token.
  4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Social Climber triggers, causing you to gain 1 life.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This looping engine transforms a single spark of life into an unstoppable avalanche of growth, fueled by the careful interplay between your permanents. It all hinges on Light of Promise turning any lifegain event into massive +1/+1 counters for Herd Baloth, which in turn triggers its own ability to birth a 4/4 green Beast token whenever those counters land. The arrival of that new token fulfills the Alliance condition for Social Climber, instantly granting you another point of life to feed right back into Light of Promise and restart the entire chain.
