Lullmage Mentor + Anointed Procession + Parallel Lives + Primal Vigor

Lullmage Mentor

Anointed Procession

Parallel Lives

Primal Vigor

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 eight 1/1 Merfolk creature tokens.
3. Repeat.

This satisfying lock relies on a cascading multiplication of bodies to power Lullmage Mentor's counterspell ability indefinitely. Whenever an opponent dares cast a spell, you tap your sea-folk to counter it, which triggers the Mentor to create a Merfolk token. That single token generation is then amplified exponentially by Anointed Procession, Parallel Lives, and Primal Vigor all at once, transforming a modest spawn into a massive school of eight new Merfolk. With seven fresh bodies immediately ready to be tapped, you are fully armed to counter every single spell your opponents attempt to cast for the rest of the game.
