When your opponent tries to cast a spell, you can use Lullmage Mentor's activated ability to counter it by tapping seven untapped Merfolk. This triggers Lullmage Mentor's first ability, and because token-doubling effects from Primal Vigor, Exalted Sunborn, and Bard, King of Dale all stack together to multiply the resulting Merfolk tokens exponentially, a single counterspell instantly generates an overwhelming horde of eight new 1/1 blue Merfolk creature tokens. With your newly widened army ready to tap, you can lock down the game by repeatedly countering every subsequent spell your opponents cast.
