Emiel the Blessed + Dionus, Elvish Archdruid

Emiel the Blessed

Dionus, Elvish Archdruid

How it works

1. Activate any number of Elves you control by tapping them, adding at least 3.
2. Each Elf tapped this way triggers, untapping it and putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
3. Activate Emiel the Blessed by paying 3, blinking Dionus, thus granting a fresh instance of the ability to each Elf you control.
4. Repeat.

This elegant engine turns your mana-dork Elves into a self-sustaining loop, fueled by Dionus, Elvish Archdruid granting every Elf you control a powerful untap and counter-granting trigger whenever they become tapped during your turn. By tapping your Elves for mana, you satisfy the mana requirement to activate Emiel the Blessed, whose ability lets you blink Dionus to reset its "once each turn" restriction and grant a fresh wave of triggers. Every cycle leaves your Elves permanently larger thanks to Dionus, Elvish Archdruid's persistent counters, while Emiel the Blessed keeps the whole sequence moving forward for infinite mana, etbs, and untaps.
