In the card creation challenge, I got inspired to create a legendary elephant skeleton. That's what I came up with, and I simply adore the design.
It goes infinite with Maskwood Nexus, Hornet Queen and/or Avenger of Zendikar, but a 3-card combo is fine, I guess ;)
Thoughts on the card?

legendofa- I recognize anywhere it the Elephant Graveyard from the Lion King (I'm actally made a lion king custom set one)
seshiro_of_the_orochi- Love this card not only becuse it art is from my favorite disney movie growing up but also because its a skeleton which always needs more love. The effect is great as well so +3 from me

legendofa: That's a pretty awesome way to end a game, indeed. I simply googled for elephant graveyard, I think this was from a Lion King RPG page. I always forget who's the using loving skeletons, but time and time again, I get remembered it's you :D
Stardragon: Great to hear you like the design. I think it's a shame we haven't yet gotten a proper skeleton commander.

Stardragon It's been way too long since I saw that movie... I might need to pull it up this weekend.

seshiro_of_the_orochi this has great synergy with my own custom skelly commander. 
I think these two complement each other every well. Maybe not perfectly. But well enough, legendofa already saw mine but I like your better

It also goes infinite with a single Carrion Feeder and an elephant as written :P
But I really vibe with the design! I love the idea of creating a bunch of undead elephants, and like Stardragon said it has tribal synergies as well, like Lord of the Accursed.

TheOfficialCreator: Huh, I actually missed that. Will have to change the first trigger to non-token elephant.
Thank you still for the kind words :)

Death Baron says henlo :3
In case anyone was wondering, there are currently 62 legal Elephants in these colors for EDH. Unfortunately, is not represented in their tribe, lest for two cards: Ivorytusk Fortress and Rotting Mastodon.

The art's really nice. Where did you get it from?
On top the infinite creature combo you mentioned, if you can get your deck into your graveyard (not too hard in BGx), you can use that combo to dump every creature card in your graveyard onto the battlefield, once you get "enough" Skeleton tokens. That's the direct I would take this, as a free repeatable Dread Return. I don't think it's too powerful, especially at six mana and needing two other cards, but it is worth noting.
And to finish it off, it's a Legendary Skeleton. I like this card.
