Lullmage Mentor

Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization

Parallel Lives

Exalted Sunborn

How it works

1. Whenever an opponent casts a spell, activate Lullmage Mentor by tapping seven untapped Merfolk, countering that spell.
2. Lullmage Mentor triggers, creating a total of twelve 1/1 Merfolk creature tokens.
3. Repeat.

By utilizing Lullmage Mentor's activated ability to counter an opponent's spell using seven untapped Merfolk, you trigger its own passive ability to generate a token, which is then amplified exponentially into a massive swarm of twelve tokens thanks to the replacement effects of Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, Parallel Lives, and Exalted Sunborn. This net gain leaves you with far more than the seven Merfolk required to pay the cost, letting you loop the counterspell indefinitely. With Exalted Sunborn and Parallel Lives multiplying every token creation alongside Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, a single activation immediately replenishes your workforce while completely locking your opponents out of casting anything else.
