Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel + Chatterfang, Squirrel General + Verdurous Gearhulk + Saw in Half + Epic Struggle

Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel

Chatterfang, Squirrel General

Verdurous Gearhulk

Saw in Half

Epic Struggle

How it works

1. Cast Saw in Half by paying 2, destroying Verdurous Gearhulk and creating two 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, as well as two 1/1 Squirrel creature tokens.
2. When the Verdurous Gearhulk tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, putting at least seven +1/+1 counters on Nadier, and the remaining one +1/+1 counter on any creature(s) you control.
3. Kill Nadier, triggering its ability, creating at least ten 1/1 Elf Warrior and ten 1/1 Squirrel creature tokens.
4. At the beginning of your next upkeep, Epic Struggle triggers, causing you to win the game.

This clever sequence kicks off when you cast Saw in Half to destroy Verdurous Gearhulk, which cleverly sidesteps its usual casting restrictions by spawning halved token copies that still trigger its entry ability to load up Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel with massive power. Thanks to Chatterfang, Squirrel General's replacement effect, every single token creation—from the Gearhulk copies to the eventual demise of a massive Nadier—doubles up with an army of Squirrels. When Nadier leaves the battlefield, its explosive death trigger floods the board with Elf Warriors and more Squirrel tokens, easily pushing your creature count past the threshold required for Epic Struggle to seal your victory on the upkeep.
