The Last Ride + Salvaging Station + Tormod, the Desecrator

The Last Ride

Salvaging Station

Tormod, the Desecrator

How it works

1. Activate The Last Ride's crew ability by tapping a creature with power 2 or greater, causing it to become an artifact creature until end of turn.
2. The Last Ride dies as a state-based action due to having 0 or less toughness, triggering Salvaging Station, untapping Salvaging Station.
3. Activate Salvaging Station by tapping it, returning The Last Ride from your graveyard to the battlefield.
4. Tormod triggers, creating a creature token.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on turning a lethal drawback into an engine of continuous rebirth. By activating The Last Ride's crew ability, you temporarily turn it into an artifact creature, setting up the exact conditions for its own demise; because its toughness is reduced by your life total, it immediately shrinks to 0 or less toughness and hits the graveyard. That death triggers Salvaging Station, which untaps itself and happily uses its tap ability to fish The Last Ride right back onto the battlefield as a noncreature artifact with mana value 1 or less. Meanwhile, Tormod, the Desecrator watches cards leave your graveyard to bail out the vehicle, rewarding each cycle by spawning a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
