Jumbo Cactuar swings and stacks +9999/+0 on itself, then Swords to Plowshares exiles it at instant speed, converting that 10,000 power directly into life. Any Selesnya lifegain commander — Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Lathiel, the Bounteous Dawn, or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic splashing green-white — translates 10,000 life into a closing condition on the spot.

How it works

Prerequisites

Jumbo Cactuar does not have summoning sickness.

Steps

Declare Jumbo Cactuar as an attacker, triggering its ability, giving it +9999/+0 until end of turn.
Cast Swords to Plowshares by paying , exiling Jumbo Cactuar and causing you to gain 10,000 life.

Result

Near-infinite lifegain

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Path to Exile is the only functional swap for Swords to Plowshares here, and the opponent gets a land — take Swords every time. The loop doesn't win by itself; pair it with Felidar Sovereign, Test of Endurance, or Aetherflux Reservoir to convert the life total into a victory condition, since 10,000 life is a resource, not a kill.
