This next one really made me 😍:

Introducing {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} and his death-defying partner {Triskelion}!

I adore combos in which each piece is a good card. And a two-card kill to boot!

For the folks in Standard, I've got your back, (unless you want me to have your front):
{Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} + {Pentavus} = 1: make a 1/1 flier!  ✈
Clog the skies with as many Pentavites as you can afford and swoop in for the finish.

How does this work?î,,ˆ My brain is running dry today. I know it involves undying..

Sorry, I didn't want to over-explain, but I guess I need a little intro.
With both {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed} and {Triskelion} on the battlefield, remove the first two counters from the Triskelion. Save the last one to kill itself and bingo-bango it undies right back into play, with another four counters.
Rinse, lather, repeat. 🛀

Now the {Pentavus} comes in with 5 +1/+1 counters. Pay 5 to remove all of them and make five tokens and the mother hen dies for being 0/0. Then it comes back, fully stocked. ðŸ"🐤🐤🐤🐤🐤

Pssst! Don't tell any one I told you this but {Unbreathing Hoard} + {Mikaeus, the Unhallowed}... Shhhhhh!😉

Same goes for old-school Phantoms if you want to resurrect some dead cards. ðŸ'€ðŸ'»

Also, he works really well with any of the persist/ "enters the battlefield with -1/-1 counters" creatures from Shadowmoor block. 🎃
