Long Feng, Grand Secretariat + Ghave, Guru of Spores + Thermopod

Long Feng, Grand Secretariat

Ghave, Guru of Spores

Thermopod

How it works

1. Activate Ghave by paying 1 and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control, creating a creature token.
2. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing the creature token, adding .
3. When the creature token dies, Lord Feng triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Ghave.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Ghave, Guru of Spores into a self-sustaining engine by utilizing its own ability to create a Saproling for {1} by removing a counter. That newly born token is then immediately fed to Thermopod to generate red mana, which conveniently pays for Ghave's activation cost while simultaneously triggering Long Feng, Grand Secretariat from the graveyard transition. Long Feng uses that death trigger to replenish Ghave with a fresh +1/+1 counter, allowing you to seamlessly repeat the process for infinite sacrifices, triggers, and mana.
