You have a way to cause a creature with power 1 or greater to enter the battlefield under your control.

How to execute it

  1. Cause a creature to enter the battlefield under your control.
  2. Warstorm Surge triggers, dealing damage to an opponent equal to the creature's power.
  3. War Elemental's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on itself.

  7. Resolve the Warstorm Surge trigger, dealing 1 damage to an opponent.
