By utilizing Agatha's Soul Cauldron to exile Deathbringer Thoctar, your creatures with +1/+1 counters gain its dangerous ability to spend a counter and deal 1 damage. With Pest Mascot exiled or on the board—and crucially equipped with its inherent lifelink—each ping of damage gains you life, which in turn triggers Pest Mascot to replace the spent counter. This creates a self-sustaining loop that turns simple arithmetic into infinite damage and infinite life.
