The 4 combo pieces

What must be in place

Light of Promise attached to Cryptic Trilobite.

How to execute it

  1. Activate Eldrazi Displacer by paying {2}{C}, blinking Gray Merchant of Asphodel.
  2. When Gray Merchant of Asphodel enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing each opponent to lose life equal to your devotion to black, and causing you to gain that much life.
  3. Cryptic Trilobite triggers, putting at least two +1/+1 counters on itself.
  4. Activate Cryptic Trilobite's first ability twice by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, adding {C}{C}{C}{C} that can only be spent to activate abilities.
  5. Repeat.
