The Last Ride + Salvaging Station + Quintorius, Field Historian

The Last Ride

Salvaging Station

Quintorius, Field Historian

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. Quintorius triggers, creating a creature token.
5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns The Last Ride's massive self-inflicted toughness penalty into a perpetual engine by using its own crew ability to transform it into an artifact creature that instantly perishes. Once it hits the graveyard, Salvaging Station steps in to pluck The Last Ride right back onto the battlefield, a recursion that is endlessly sustained because every single death untaps the Station. Meanwhile, Quintorius, Field Historian keeps close watch over your graveyard; every time The Last Ride leaves to start the cycle anew, Quintorius rewards you with a steady army of Spirit tokens.
