How it works
Activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing Ashcloud Phoenix.
When Ashcloud Phoenix dies, its first ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield face-down.
When Ashcloud Phoenix enters the battlefield face-down, Blasting Station triggers, untapping Blasting Station.
Resolve the Blasting Station ability from step 1, dealing 1 damage to any target.
Activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing Ashcloud Phoenix.
Yarus' second ability triggers, returning Ashcloud Phoenix from your graveyard to the battlefield face down, and then turning it face up.
Blasting Station and Ashcloud Phoenix's second ability trigger.
Resolve the Blasting Station trigger, untapping it.
Resolve the Ashcloud Phoenix trigger, dealing 2 damage to each player.
Resolve the Blasting Station ability from step 5, dealing 1 damage to any target.
Repeat.
This loop creates a lethal recycling engine by leveraging Ashcloud Phoenix's ability to return itself face-down from the graveyard when it dies. Blasting Station serves as the sacrifice outlet and damage dealer, and its untap trigger ensures it stays ready to repeat the process every time the Phoenix re-enters the battlefield. Meanwhile, Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods provides the crucial recursive safety net and damage escalation, turning the Phoenix face-up upon its return to trigger its explosive fire damage while constantly feeding the loop.
