How it works

  1. Activate Spawning Pit's second ability by paying 1 and removing two charge counters from it, creating three 2/2 Spawn artifact creature tokens.
  2. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing a Spawn, adding R mana.
  3. Activate Spawning Pit's first ability twice by sacrificing two Spawns, putting two charge counters on Spawning Pit.
  4. Repeat.

This loop uses Spawning Pit as your token factory, fueling the activation cost by sacrificing the creatures you make to Thermopod for red mana. The true engine of excess here is Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, whose replacement effect triples every Spawn token Spawning Pit produces—turning a meager two tokens into six for the exact same cost. By cycling a portion of those creatures back into Spawning Pit to reload its counters and feeding the rest to Thermopod, you generate a surplus of resources to fuel infinite deaths, leaves-the-battlefield, and entry triggers.
