Tayam, Luminous Enigma + Ashnod's Altar + Kinsbaile Borderguard

Tayam, Luminous Enigma

Ashnod's Altar

Kinsbaile Borderguard

How it works

1. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Kinsbaile Borderguard, adding .
2. When Kinsbaile Borderguard dies, its last ability triggers, creating three Kithkin Soldier tokens that each enter with a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
3. Activate Tayam by paying 3 and removing three vigilance counters from creatures you control, milling yourself three cards and returning Kinsbaile Borderguard from your graveyard to the battlefield. Kinsbaile Borderguard enters with a vigilance counter due to Tayam and at least three +1/+1 counters due to its first ability.
4. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing a Kithkin Soldier and Kinsbaile Borderguard, adding .
5. When Kinsbaile Borderguard dies, its last ability triggers, creating four Kithkin Soldier tokens that each enter with a vigilance counter due to Tayam.
6. Repeat from step 3 any number of times, increasing the number of +1/+1 counters and tokens each time.

This clever engine feeds on the synergy between Ashnod's Altar and the ever-growing army generated by Kinsbaile Borderguard, which easily scales beyond three counters thanks to the Kithkin tokens entering the battlefield. Tayam, Luminous Enigma acts as the ultimate conductor here, converting the surplus of vigilance counters distributed to your board into the fuel needed to recur Kinsbaile Borderguard from the graveyard time and time again. By constantly cycling the Borderguard back through Ashnod's Altar, you generate a self-sustaining loop of sacrifice, token generation, and mana that quickly spirals out of control.
