Iraxxa, Empress of Mars + Squee, the Immortal + Thermopod + Rakdos, Lord of Riots
How it works
- Cast Squee from your graveyard or from exile by paying .
- Iraxxa triggers, creating a 2/2 Alien Warrior creature token.
- Activate Thermopod's second ability twice by sacrificing Squee and the Alien Warrior, adding .
- Repeat.
This brilliant engine relies on Squee, the Immortal's unique permission to be repeatedly cast straight from the graveyard or exile, creating a closed-loop casting cycle. Each time you redeploy Squee, Iraxxa, Empress of Mars triggers its Paradox ability because the spell originates from outside your hand, instantly reinforcing your board with a 2/2 red Alien Warrior token. Both Squee and the newly minted token are then fed directly into Thermopod, whose sacrifice ability turns them back into red mana to fund the next iteration of Squee. Meanwhile, Rakdos, Lord of Riots sits on the sidelines tracking your opponents' lost life, waiting for the right moment to drastically discount your creature spells while the rest of the machinery generates an endless storm count and a torrent of sacrifice and death triggers.
