Bring Guile and Dovescape into play. Play any non-creature spell; this will trigger Dovescape's ability and counter the spell, and bringing doves into play. Dovescape's countering ability will trigger Guile's ability. You can now play the same, previously triggered ability again without paying the mana cost, which will again be countered by Dovescape, bringing doves into play. This repeats forever, granting you an endless army of doves.

I'm hoping for this as a Worldwake Mythic.

Wow, I thought for sure Dovescape/this combo wouldn't work cause of the ruling
10/1/2007 A spell exiled this way was never actually countered.
on Guile. But, the ruling on Dovescape does in fact mention a situation similar
5/1/2006 The Bird tokens are created even if the spell isn't countered by Dovescape's ability. This may happen because the spell can't be countered, because it's already been countered, or because it's otherwise been removed from the stack by the time Dovescape's ability resolves.
This cycle was just incredible for Timmy. Also I really think it defined 6 CMC as the top level of playable constructed cards, and makes all Razorfield Rhino's look really pathetic in comparison.
I had thought this over for the longest time and came to this determination based on the following self-inquiry:
Q: If a spell targets one of my creatures in play (e.g. a kicked Into the Roil)and I either give that creature shroud/hexproof or remove the creature from play, the spell is countered? Does that mean I get to spelljack it with Guile?
The answer I came up with: No, because the spell wasn't countered by a spell or ability that I controlled, but, rather, by the absence of a legal target. Ergo, the ruling, "Guile's second ability replaces "counter " with "exile and you may cast it without paying its mana cost."

Good Job on thinking of that.

Go home and be a counterspell.
