MTG Card Back
the back of a classic MtG card

Color Identity: B, R, G

Cards

  1. Thermopod
  2. Gorma, the Gullet
  3. Persist Creature

Initial Card State

  1.  All permanents on the battlefield (Persist Creature without a -1/-1 counter on it).

Steps

  1. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing the Persist Creature.
  2. When the Persist Creature dies, its persist ability and Gorma trigger.
  3. Resolve the Gorma ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on Gorma.
  4. Resolve the persist ability, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it and at least one +1/+1 counter on it due to Gorma.
  5. Remove a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter from that creature as a state-based action.
  6. Repeat.

Notes

  1. Each loop, Gorma will place an additional +1/+1 counter on the Persist Creature compared to the previous loop. This'll eventually result in both the Persist Creature and Gorma having infinite +1/+1 counters on them.

Results

  1. Infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature.
  2. Infinite creature ETB.
  3. Infinite creature LTB.
  4. Infinite death triggers.
  5. Infinite red mana.
  6. Infinite creature sacrifice triggers.
