The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

A creature you control has at least one +1/+1 counter on it.

How to execute it

  1. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying {1} and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  2. When the Saproling enters the battlefield, Tribute to the World Tree triggers, putting two +1/+1 counters on the Saproling.
  3. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying {1} and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control.
  4. Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing the Saproling, adding {C}{C}.
  5. Resolve the Ghave ability, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  6. Repeat from step 2.
  7. Once you have infinite mana, you may forego sacrificing the Saproling tokens, and you may either use the remaining +1/+1 counters for Ghave's first ability and/or sacrifice the Saprolings to Ghave's second ability.
