Steps
Activate a creature by tapping it, adding at least {U}. Activate Harmonized Trio by tapping it and two other creatures you control, causing it to become prepared. Cast a copy of Brainstorm by paying {U}. Hermes triggers, creating a creature token. When the creature token enters, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures.
