How it works

  1. Cast Saw in Half by paying 2B mana, 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 clever Commander-legal loop starts by targeting Verdurous Gearhulk with Saw in Half, which destroys it and replaces it with multiple scaled-down copies thanks to Adrix and Nev, Twincasters doubling the resulting token generation. As these copies enter, their own triggers distribute a massive hoard of +1/+1 counters onto Nadier, Agent of the Duskenel, growing its power exponentially. When Nadier subsequently leaves the battlefield, its delayed trigger erupts into a tidal wave of Elf Warrior tokens—a swarm further doubled by Adrix and Nev, Twincasters to easily surpass the twenty-creature threshold required by Epic Struggle to instantly claim victory on your next upkeep.
