    How it works

    Before you start

    You have a way to put a +1/+1 counter on a creature.

    Steps

    Cast Wildwood Scourge by paying {G} plus an additional amount of mana equal to Jackal's power minus {1}. Jackal triggers, copying the Wildwood Scourge spell and putting a +1/+1 counter on Jackal. Resolve both Wildwood Scourge spells. Cast Ego Erasure by paying {2}{U}, targeting yourself. Put a +1/+1 counter on either Wildwood Scourge. The other Wildwood Scourge triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on it. Repeat step 6 infinitely.
