Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel + Verdurous Gearhulk + Saw in Half + Epic Struggle + Parallel Lives

Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel

Verdurous Gearhulk

Saw in Half

Epic Struggle

Parallel Lives

How it works

1. 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.
2. When the Verdurous Gearhulk tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, putting at least seven +1/+1 counters on Nadier, and the remaining nine +1/+1 counters on any creature(s) you control.
3. Kill Nadier, triggering its ability, creating at least twenty 1/1 Elf Warrior creature tokens.
4. At the beginning of your next upkeep, Epic Struggle triggers, causing you to win the game.

This explosive combination turns a single targeted spell into a sweeping battlefield transformation, supercharged by token-doubling effects. By using Saw in Half on Verdurous Gearhulk, you spawn a multitude of token copies that flood the board with entering-the-battlefield triggers, which in turn feed Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel and distribute a massive flurry of counters. Once Nadier is subsequently dealt with, its delayed trigger unleashes a horde of Elf Warrior tokens—magnified exponentially by Parallel Lives—easily satisfying the twenty-creature threshold required for Epic Struggle to clinch your victory on the following upkeep.
