The 5 combo pieces

What must be in place

If Jirina is in your graveyard, you must have {3} available and three removable counters from creatures you control, ensuring to leave a +1/+1 counter on Cryptic Trilobite and Basking Broodscale. If Jirina is in your hand, you must have enough mana to cast it.

How to execute it

  1. Cast Jirina by paying its mana cost if it is in your hand. Otherwise, activate Tayam by paying {3} and removing three counters from creatures you control, causing you to mill three cards and return Jirina from your graveyard to the battlefield with a vigilance counter on it.
  2. When Jirina enters the battlefield, Metastatic Evangel triggers, causing you to put a +1/+1 counter on Cryptic Trilobite and Basking Broodscale and a vigilance counter on Jirina.
  3. Basking Broodscale triggers, creating a 0/1 Eldrazi Spawn creature token that enters with a vigilance counter on it.
  4. Activate Cryptic Trilobite by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding {C}{C} that can only be spent to activate abilities.
  5. Activate the Eldrazi Spawn by sacrificing it, adding {C}.
  6. Activate Tayam by paying {3}, removing both vigilance counters from Jirina and another counter from a creature you control.
  7. Holding priority, activate Jirina by sacrificing it.
  8. Resolve the Tayam ability, causing you to mill three cards and return Jirina from your graveyard to the battlefield with a vigilance counter on it.
  9. Repeat from step 2.
  10. Repeat.
