How to execute it

  1. Activate Cryptic Trilobite's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding {C}{C} that can only be spent to activate abilities.

  3. Activate Skullclamp's equip ability by paying {1}, attaching it to Cryptic Trilobite.
  4. Cryptic Trilobite dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness, triggering its undying ability and Skullclamp.
  5. Resolve the Cryptic Trilobite trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter on it.
  6. Resolve the Skullclamp trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
  7. Repeat.
