Gev, Scaled Scorch + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Gev, Scaled Scorch

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

How it works

1. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing the creature with persist.
2. The persist ability triggers, returning that creature to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it, as well as a +1/+1 counter due to Gev.
3. The +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on that creature are removed as a state-based action.
4. Resolve the ability from step 1.
5. Repeat.
