Solitary Sanctuary

Crystalline Crawler

Minister of Impediments

Freed from the Real

How it works

1. Activate Minister of Impediments by tapping it, tapping a creature an opponent controls.
2. Solitary Sactuary triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Crystalline Crawler.
3. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding .
4. Activate Freed from the Real's second ability by paying , untapping Minister of Impediments.
5. Repeat.
6. You may also repeat this loop during each turn.

This elegant engine locks down your opponents' boards by weaponizing their own creatures against them. You begin by using Minister of Impediments (enchanted by Freed from the Real) to tap an opponent's creature, which triggers Solitary Sanctuary to feed a +1/+1 counter straight onto Crystalline Crawler. You then strip that very counter away using Crystalline Crawler's mana ability to generate the blue mana required to pay Freed from the Real, untapping the Minister so the loop can begin anew.
