    • Agatha's Soul Cauldron on the battlefield.
    • Grist in exile (Grist exiled by Agatha's Soul Cauldron in exile).

  • Steps

    How does this combo work?

    • 1
      Cast First Day of Class by paying {1}{r}
    • 2
      Activate a creature using Grist's first loyalty ability by putting a loyalty counter on it, causing you to create a 1/1 Insect creature token and mill a card, and then put a loyalty counter on the creature and repeat the process if the card was an Insect.
    • 3
      When the Insect enters, First Day of Class triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the Insect. This causes it to gain Grist's abilities due to Agatha's Soul Cauldron.

      Repeat from step 2 using the Insect token instead.
