Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider + Animation Module + Thermopod

Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider

Animation Module

Thermopod

How it works

1. Cause an artifact to enter the battlefield under your control.
2. Captain Storm triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on a Pirate you control.
3. Animation Module triggers, causing you to pay 1 to create a 1/1 Servo artifact creature token.
4. When the Servo enters the battlefield, Captain Storm triggers.
5. Holding priority, activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Servo, adding .
6. Resolve the Captain Storm trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on a Pirate you control.
7. Repeat from step 3.

This clever engine spins into motion the moment an artifact enters your battlefield, turning Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider's triggered ability into a cascading loop of counters. Each time a +1/+1 counter lands on your Pirate, Animation Module's triggered ability steps in, letting you pay a single mana to generate a fresh Servo artifact creature token. That new Servo immediately satisfies Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider's entry condition to restart the sequence, while Thermopod stands ready to sacrifice that very same Servo for the red mana needed to fund Animation Module's fee. By continuously feeding the Servo back into Thermopod, you generate an endless loop of creature sacrifices and enters-the-battlefield events while growing your Pirates indefinitely.
