How it works

  1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Fiend Hunter, adding R mana.
  2. When Fiend Hunter dies, its second ability triggers, returning Hero of the Dunes to the battlefield from exile.
  3. When Hero of the Dunes enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Fiend Hunter from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Fiend Hunter enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, exiling Hero of the Dunes.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop uses Fiend Hunter as an eternal revolving door between the battlefield and the graveyard, anchored by Hero of the Dunes to constantly resurrect it whenever it hits the bin. Thermopod acts as the engine's crucible, immediately converting that newly returned Fiend Hunter into red mana through its sacrifice ability while letting Hero of the Dunes's static pump buff your small creatures in the process. As Fiend Hunter enters and leaves, it continually exiles and releases Hero of the Dunes to keep the cycle going infinitely, generating an endless stream of death, entry, and sacrifice triggers alongside your boundless mana.
