Chain of Acid + Dragonsguard Elite

Chain of Acid

Dragonsguard Elite

How it works

1. Cast Chain of Acid by paying 3, targeting an indestructible noncreature permanent you control.
2. Dragonsguard Elite triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
3. Resolve Chain of Acid, destroying nothing and causing you to copy Chain of Acid, targeting an indestructible noncreature permanent you control.
4. Repeat from step 2.

This delightful loop turns the targeting restriction of Chain of Acid into an engine for unending growth. By pointing Chain of Acid at an indestructible noncreature permanent you control, the spell resolves harmlessly while still allowing you to relentlessly copy it back onto your own safe target. Every single iteration of this spell copying feeds the magecraft ability of Dragonsguard Elite, triggering its growth again and again. The result is an unstoppable accumulation of infinite +1/+1 counters that leaves your monk ready to strike with lethal force.
