The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

You control a creature with power seven or greater that has entered the battlefield this turn.
Alena does not have summoning sickness.

How to execute it

  1. Cast Threaten by paying {2}{R}, targeting Alena.
  2. Holding priority, activate Alena by tapping it, adding at least seven {R}.
  3. Cast Reiterate with buyback by paying {4}{R}{R}, creating a copy of Threaten targeting Alena and returning Reiterate to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Threaten copy, untapping Alena and giving it haste until end of turn.
  5. Repeat from step 2.
  6. Once you have a large amount of {R}, you may target opponent' creatures with the Threaten copies to take control of them.
