The 4 combo pieces

How to execute it

  1. Cast Gideon's Sacrifice by paying {W}, causing all damage that would be dealt this turn to you or to permanents you control to be dealt to Crystalline Crawler instead.
  2. Activate Pestilence by paying {B}, dealing 1 damage to each creature and each player.
  3. Gideon's Sacrifice redirects damage to Crawler, which results in at least three +1/+1 counters being placed on it instead due to Vigor.
  4. Activate Crystalline Crawler's first activated ability at least once by removing at least one +1/+1 counter from it, adding at least {B}.
  5. Repeat from step 2.
