Arcane Adaptation + Captain of the Mists + Presence of Gond

Arcane Adaptation

Captain of the Mists

Presence of Gond

How it works

1. Tap Captain of the Mists to activate Presence of Gond, creating a human elf token.
2. On ETB, the token triggers Captain of the Mists, untapping it.

This charming little loop turns an ordinary wizard into a self-sustaining army by bridging a clever type-matching gap. With Arcane Adaptation naming "Human" as the universal creature type, every single creature token you generate instantly counts as a Human in addition to its other types. This is vital because it ensures that when Presence of Gond's tap ability—bestowed directly onto Captain of the Mists—creates a fresh 1/1 green Elf Warrior creature token, that very same token's arrival triggers the Captain's second ability to untap itself. You can then repeat this cycle endlessly to flood the board with an infinite number of creatures and trigger any entering-the-battlefield effects you desire.
