How it works

  1. Cast Gatta and Luzzu by paying 2W mana.
  2. When Gatta and Luzzu enters the battlefield, it triggers, targeting Deathbringer Thoctar.
  3. Activate Deathbringer Thoctar by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, targeting itself, but instead putting two +1/+1 counters on it due to Gatta and Luzzu and Loading Zone.
  4. Activate Deathbringer Thoctar by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, dealing 1 damage to any target.
  5. Repeat from step 3.

This loop transforms Gatta and Luzzu's damage-prevention trigger into a perpetual engine by redirecting Deathbringer Thoctar's self-inflicted damage into growth. Because Loading Zone doubles every counter placement that occurs, removing a counter to ping Deathbringer Thoctar results in a net gain of counters rather than a loss. This creates a closed-loop alchemy of infinite damage and infinitely large creatures, as Deathbringer Thoctar can freely redirect its excess firepower to any target once the engine is spinning.
