Strength of Will + Deathbringer Thoctar + Innkeeper's Talent

Strength of Will

Deathbringer Thoctar

Innkeeper's Talent

How it works

1. Cast Strength of Will by paying 1, targeting Deathbringer Thoctar.
2. Activate Deathbringer Thoctar by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, dealing 1 damage to it.
3. Deathbringer Thoctar triggers, putting two +1/+1 counters on it due to Innkeeper's Talent.
4. Activate Deathbringer Thoctar by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, dealing 1 damage to any target.
5. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns Deathbringer Thoctar into a self-sustaining artillery piece by exploiting the damage-doubling math of Innkeeper's Talent. When you cast Strength of Will on Deathbringer Thoctar, it gains indestructible and a crucial trigger that rewards it for taking damage. Because Innkeeper's Talent doubles any counters you would place, dealing 1 damage to the Thoctar generates two +1/+1 counters instead of just one, leaving you with a net gain of counters after you spend one to activate its ability. This allows you to repeat the process indefinitely, cycling through the counters to fire off infinite damage to any target while infinitely growing your creature.
