Tap the Tunneler to make the Vampire unblockable. Make the Elite undying and sacrifice it to the Vampire, setting persist to resolve first. The Elite returns with a -1/-1 counter. Sacrifice it again, setting undying to resolve first. It returns with a +1/+1 counter. Continue to sacrifice the Elite in this manner until you have reached infinite power and toughness on the Vampire. Attack.

Awkward mana requirements, but an all common, all under 3 mana infinite P/T combo.

Unfortunately, The Elite doesn't keep the Undying ability each time it comes back. It forgets about it when it hits the graveyard and comes back.

Hmph. I'm one for four with my last four combos. I'm not very efficient with green...

Actually, the undying would stay with the creature until end of turn no matter how many tes it dies because undying is a triggered keyword ability. The undying evil give a creature undying until end of turn. You would treat the creature as if it had been printed with the ability of undying until end of the turn.

400.7. An object that moves from one zone to another becomes a new object with no memory of, or relation to, its previous existence.

Pretty sure that's what's happening here. If this rule doesn't apply, correct me, but I'm pretty sure this doesn't work.

I agree to the captain, this does not work. See also the combos with Mikaeus, these combo works due to the Mikaeus providing undying to creatures on the battlefield which happens each time they enter the battlefield.
The instant only applies once.
