How it works

  1. Gain life.
  2. The Destined White Mage triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on another Goblin, Orc or Army you control.
  3. The Great Goblin's first ability triggers, dealing 2 damage to an opponent and causing you to gain 2 life due to its lifelink.
  4. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns any initial life gain into an escalating storm, fueled by the dynamic synergy between The Destined White Mage and The Great Goblin. Whenever you trigger The Destined White Mage to place a +1/+1 counter on a creature, The Great Goblin sees that counter placed on a Goblin, Orc, or Army and deals 2 damage to an opponent. Because The Destined White Mage's lifelink grants you life from that damage, the resulting life gain immediately triggers The Destined White Mage all over again, creating a self-sustaining loop that infinitely grows your creature and burns your opponent out.
