This guy sees a lot of play in Vintage decks running Mishra's Workshop, because he can kill Dark Confidant and a variety of other beasties, and... artifact-only decks really don't have any better options. Somewhat better with Goblin Welder for recursion, though it takes two turns (or two welders) to recharge him.

Gg with Mikaeus.
In case you don't get the combo: Have both out, Triskelion with a fresh 3 counters. Remove 1 counter to ping whatever you want, and then the last 2 to ping Triskelion itself (it's a 2/2, it has to die!). It'll pass, resurrect due to undying with an extra +1/+1 counter. Remove 2 counters, ping whatever, remove the last 2 to kill Triskelion again. Repeat until gg.

What I read a minute ago was that if you play his ability with Curse of Stalked Prey he will do unlimited DAMAGE ! All you have to do is have this guy and that one and use its ability and it will trigger like a machine gun ...Unless your opponent realizes this combo and counters it , you just use this ability to
1. remove a counter and hit opponent
2 .gain counter back
3. remove counter
4. repeat for the WIN!
edit : oh it might not work ....would that be combat damage then ?

This is a pretty damn good card in commander... The Mimeoplasm with this plus exile Lord of Extinction after Traumatize-ing yourself is basically game over.
@ PhoenixZephyrus
That's absolutely not true. LoE has a characteristic-defining ability that defines it in any zone. I'll even quote you the rule:
208.2a The card may have a characteristic-defining ability that sets its power and/or toughness
according to some stated condition. (See rule 604.3.) Such an ability is worded “This
creature’s power or toughness is equal to . . .” or “This creature’s power and toughness are
each equal to . . .” This ability functions everywhere, even outside the game. If the ability needs
to use a number that can’t be determined, including inside a calculation, use 0 instead of that
number.

@MechaKraken
Yes. If you give Trisk Infect he will start flinging around poison counters at players and -1/-1 counters at creatures.

While people have mentioned the infinite combo with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, I use it in my Vorel of the Hull Clade EDH deck. He becomes extremely large, then if anyone tries to kill him, they take about 20 to the dome, or all of their creatures die. Not as good as the insta-win, but I like the rest of Vorel's combos a lot better.
@Kamahl_Folk: While it doesn't matter that much, you can remove two counters from triskelion, then remove one to kill itself, then remove 3 every time it undies. Still an infinite combo, so it doesn't matter, but in case someone interrupts it, you can get a few more damage.
