You control at least two other creatures with toughness equal to 1.
You have a way to put a -1/-1 counter on a creature.

How to execute it

  1. Put a -1/-1 counter on any creature you control with toughness equal to 1. The creatue dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness, triggering Hapatra and Host of the Hereafter.
  2. Resolve the Hapatra trigger, creating a 1/1 Snake creature token.
  3. Resolve the Host of the Hereafter trigger, putting a -1/-1 counter on any creature you control with toughness equal to 1.
  4. Repeat from step 2.
