The 4 combo pieces

What must be in place

You control a creature with at least three spore counters on it.

How to execute it

  1. Activate a creature you control by removing two spore counters from it, creating two 1/1 Saproling creature tokens.
  2. The Saprolings enter the battlefield, triggering Tainted Observer twice.
  3. Holding priority, activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the Saprolings, adding {C}{C}{C}{C}.
  4. Resolve both Tainted Observer triggers, causing you to pay {4} to put two spore counters on any creature you control.
  5. Repeat.
