This clever loop relies on Thopter Squadron acting as both our mana engine and our counter reservoir, feeding fuel directly into Krark-Clan Ironworks to generate a surplus of colorless mana. As those artifacts and creatures hit the graveyard, Blade of the Bloodchief steps in to continuously rebuild and amplify Thopter Squadron's stock of +1/+1 counters with every single death. By constantly cashing in counters to spawn Thopters and sacrificing them back to the Ironworks, you create a perpetual motion machine that churns out infinite mana alongside an endless procession of enters-the-battlefield, leaves-the-battlefield, and sacrifice triggers.
