How it works
Cast Saw in Half by paying 2, destroying Verdurous Gearhulk and creating four token copies of it with base power equal to half the destroyed creature's power and base toughness equal to half the destroyed creature's toughness, rounding up each time.
When the Verdurous Gearhulk tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, putting at least nine +1/+1 counters on Nested Shambler, and the remaining seven +1/+1 counters on any creature(s) you control.
Kill Nested Shambler, triggering its ability, creating at least twenty 1/1 Squirrel creature tokens.
At the beginning of your next upkeep, Epic Struggle triggers, causing you to win the game.
This clever loop relies on *Saw in Half* to shatter a *Verdurous Gearhulk* into a swarm of smaller token copies, whose cascading entrance triggers flood your board with enough +1/+1 counters to turn *Nested Shambler* into a colossal sacrifice target. When that boosted squirrel dies, its death trigger generates a mountain of tokens—a process supercharged by *Adrix and Nev, Twincasters*, whose replacement effect doubles every single token created along the way. With your creature count safely over the twenty-threshold, *Epic Struggle* smoothly seals your victory at the start of your upkeep.
