Outrider en-Kor + Task Force + Noxious Gearhulk

Outrider en-Kor

Task Force

Noxious Gearhulk

How it works

1. Pay 0 to activate Outrider en-Kor, targeting Task Force.
2. Task Force triggers, giving itself +0/+3 untill end of turn.
3. Repeat steps 1-2 untill Task Force has infinite toughness.
4. Cast Noxious Gearhulk, destroying Task Force and gaining life equal to its toughness.

This clever synergy turns Outrider en-Kor's seemingly innocuous redirection ability into a limitless pump engine, thanks to how easily it can target your own creatures without spending mana. Every single time you redirect zero damage to Task Force, its trigger responds by stacking up massive toughness, exploiting the fact that an ability can target the same creature as many times as you want. Once Task Force has reached astronomical proportions, you drop Noxious Gearhulk to immediately execute it, turning that monstrous stat line into a staggering amount of life gained in a single swoop.
