Blasting Station + Dualcaster Mage + Presumed Dead

Blasting Station

Dualcaster Mage

Presumed Dead

How it works

1. Cast Presumed Dead by paying its mana cost.
2. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying its mana cost.
3. When Dualcaster Mage enters, it and Blasting Station trigger.
4. Resolve the Blasting Station trigger, untapping it.
5. Resolve the Dualcaster Mage trigger, copying Presumed Dead, with the copy targeting Dualcaster Mage.
6. Resolve the copy of Presumed Dead.
7. Holding priority, activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing Dualcaster Mage.
8. When Dualcaster Mage dies, Presumed Dead triggers, returning Dualcaster Mage from your graveyard to the battlefield.
9. Repeat from step 3.
10. Resolve all Blasting Station abilities from step 5.

This clever loop turns a simple recursion spell into a lethal engine by combining a sacrifice outlet with a self-duplicating mage. You begin by casting Presumed Dead to grant a creature a delayed return-to-the-battlefield trigger upon its death, and then flash in Dualcaster Mage to copy that very spell. As Dualcaster Mage enters, it triggers Blasting Station, allowing you to sacrifice the Mage to deal 1 damage to any target. Because Presumed Dead brings Dualcaster Mage right back to the battlefield, its entry triggers the whole process anew to continually copy the recursion spell, sacrifice the Mage to Blasting Station for more damage, and untap the Station so it can do it all over again.
