How it works

  1. Activate Crystalline Crawler's second ability by tapping it, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
  2. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Arcbound Overseer.
  3. When Arcbound Overseer dies, it triggers, putting its +1/+1 counters on Crystalline Crawler.
  4. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
  5. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability five times by removing five +1/+1 counters from it, adding 3R manaR mana.
  6. Activate Aggravated Assault by paying 3R manaR mana, causing you to untap all creatures you control and to get an additional combat and main phase after this one.
  7. Declare Alesha as an attacker, triggering its ability, targeting Arcbound Overseer.
  8. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability twice by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, adding W/BW/B.
  9. Resolve the Alesha trigger, causing you to pay W/BW/B to return Arcbound Overseer from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking with six +1/+1 counters on it due to its modular ability.
  10. Repeat.

This intricate loop leverages Crystalline Crawler as a versatile mana engine, fueled in part by sacrificing Arcbound Overseer to Phantom Train so its massive hoard of modular counters can be recycled right back onto the Crawler. With the resulting surplus of mana, you can easily activate Aggravated Assault to grant yourself endless combat steps, while Alesha, Who Smiles at Death resurrects the Overseer directly from the graveyard to keep the entire cycle spinning indefinitely.
