Sliver Queen + Shelob, Child of Ungoliant + Sam, Loyal Attendant + Sakashima the Impostor + Heavy Arbalest

Sliver Queen

Shelob, Child of Ungoliant

Sam, Loyal Attendant

Sakashima the Impostor

Heavy Arbalest

How it works

1. Activate Shelob by tapping it, dealing 2 damage to Sliver Queen.
2. Sliver Queen dies as a state-based action due to Shelob's deathtouch, triggering Shelob, creating a token copy of Sliver Queen that is a Food artifact.
3. Activate the Sliver Queen token by paying 0, creating a 1/1 Sliver creature token.
4. Repeat step 3.

This ingenious loop turns Shelob, Child of Ungoliant into a twisted forge, leveraging her ability to transform slain creatures into Food artifacts while retaining their activated abilities. By copying Shelob with Sakashima the Impostor, you double up on this trigger-copying power, though the real magic begins once Heavy Arbalest is equipped to the legendary Spider to let it ping its own victims. When Sliver Queen is thus slain and reborn as a Food, it retains its iconic token-making ability—an ability whose mana cost is conveniently discounted by Sam, Loyal Attendant. The result is an endless cascade of Sliver tokens, fueled entirely by the spider-spun artifacts left in your wake.
