The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

You have an amount of mana available equal to three minus the number of +1/+1 counters on Runaway Steam-Kin.

How to execute it

  1. If Runaway Steam-Kin has three or more +1/+1 counters on it, activate it by removing three +1/+1 counters from it, adding {R}{R}{R}.
  2. Activate Cormela by paying {1} and tapping it, adding {U}{B}{R} that can only be spent to cast instant and/or sorcery spells.
  3. Cast Molten Duplication by paying {1}{R}.
  4. Runaway Steam-Kin triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on itself.
  5. Resolve Molten Duplication, creating a token copy of Cormela.
  6. Put the tapped Cormela into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
  7. When Cormela dies, it triggers, returning Molten Duplication from your graveyard to your hand.
  8. Repeat.
