The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

A creature you control has a +1/+1 counter on it.

How to execute it

  1. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying {1} and removing a +1/+1 counter from a creature you control, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  2. The Saproling enters the battlefield, triggering Good-Fortune Unicorn, putting a +1/+1 counter on the Saproling.
  3. Activate Ghave's first ability by paying {1} and removing a +1/+1 counter from the Saproling.
  4. Holding priority, activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing the Saproling, adding {1}.
  5. Resolve the Ghave ability, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token.
  6. Repeat from step 2.
