    An opponent controls as many or more creatures as you do.

    Steps

    Cast a copy of Swords to Plowshares from exile by paying one mana, unpreparing Emeritus of Truce. When you cast this, Displacer Kitten and Storm-Kiln Artist triggers. Resolve the Displacer Kitten ability, flickering Emeritus of Truce // Swords to Plowshares. When Emeritus of Truce enters, it triggers, causing a player to create a 1/1 Inkling creature with flying, then becoming prepared. Resolve the remaining trigger, creating a Treasure token. Resolve the spell from step 1. Activate the Treasure token by tapping and sacrificing it, adding one mana. Repeat.
