He needs a sac outlet but you bring in triskelion remove all his counters by using the ping ability and then sac him so he comes back with more counters

You don't need to sac him. He comes in with four 1/1 counters. Remove three to hurt opponent, use the last one to kill triskelion. He comes back with mikaeus' undying now with five 1/1s. Use four to opponent, on to triskelion, repeat, repeat, win

{Triskelion} comes in with 3 +1/+1 counters then its 4 after the first round of pinging.

Trisk is a 1/1 creature and mikaeus gives creatures an aditional 1/1 in adition to undying. You need a sac outlet for the combo to work.

..? No, he removes the last counter to kill triskelion. Therefore triskelion has no counters. Therefor undying triggers, allowing you to repeat.

Wouldnt help. Cremate exiles things out of the graveyard. With undying the creature never actually enters the graveyard, it just goes from combat back to the battlefield.

Not true. Undying is a death trigger. Dies = enters the graveyard from the battlefield. Once it hits the graveyard, the undying trigger is put on the stack. Using instant speed graveyard removal like {Cremate} can respond to the undying trigger and exile it before undying can resolve and bring it back.

 {Triskelavus} enters with 3 +1/+1 counters remove 1 deal 1 damage to target player remove tge last 2 counters deal 2 damage to  {Triskelavus} it dies undying triggers comes back from graveyard (so exiling it from the graveyard in response does work) with 4 +1/+1 counters remove 2 deal 2 damage to target player remove the last 2 deal 2 damage to  {Triskelavus} then you just keep repeating the undying trigger until your opponent is dead
Title: Re: Triskeli on your face
Post by: Subiskier on June 19, 2013, 06:49:43 PM
Yup. No reason it wouldn't work other than graveyard exile. No sac necessary. Good night

This doesn't work, since Triskwlion thing would still be a 1/1 without the counters. Throw in a {Heartless Summoning} so it has the counters but is a 0/0 at the end.
Title: Re: Triskeli on your face
Post by: Giggle the Draco Genius on June 20, 2013, 11:08:20 AM
Just so everyone knows it will be a 2/2 without counters due to the static ability of  {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed}.

So you will have to use 2 of the counters on  {Triskelion} to do damage to itself. Not just one.
Title: Re: Triskeli on your face
Post by: Mlerner12 on June 20, 2013, 11:09:48 AM
Or just two {Heartless Summoning}
Title: Re: Triskeli on your face
Post by: Subiskier on June 20, 2013, 01:12:55 PM
You can use two counters to do two damage to triskelion. There's no reason he can't use his ability to kill himself. Resulting in endless damage to opponent
Title: Re: Triskeli on your face
Post by: Mlerner12 on July 21, 2013, 07:34:02 PM
I don't get this, won't he be a 1/1 after the counters are removed?

The card we are talking about is a 1/1 with 3 +1/+1 counters, with the ability to take a counter off it to do one damage to anything

So with mike out we give it undying and +1/+1 so what we do is remove 2 counters from it to target itself with 2 damage leaving it as a 2/2 with one counter. Then you remove the last counter to deal one damage to an opponent
Killing itself undying triggers so it comes back as a 2/2 with 4 +1/+1 counters. Again you remove 2 of then to do damage to itself leaving it a 2/2 with 2 +1/+1 counters on it then you remove the last two leaving it with none to deal damage to an opponent. And it comes back with 4 +1/+1 counters again, so just repeat
