How it works

  1. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing Nether Traitor.
  2. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing another creature.
  3. When the creature dies, Nether Traitor triggers, causing you to pay B mana to return Nether Traitor from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. Kheru Goldkeeper and Desecrated Tomb triggers, creating a Treasure token and creature token.
  5. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding B mana.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the self-recurring shadow of Nether Traitor into an engine of continuous value, fueled effortlessly when you sacrifice it to Thermopod's mana ability. Because Nether Traitor returns for a mere {B} each time another creature dies, and Thermopod converts those sacrifices into the necessary red mana, the setup is already primed for endless recycling. The real magic happens once Kheru Goldkeeper and Desecrated Tomb enter the fray: every time Nether Traitor leaves your graveyard to return to the battlefield, both enchantments trigger simultaneously to reward you with a Treasure token and a 1/1 black Bat creature token with flying. You can then crack that Treasure to pay the black mana required for Nether Traitor's revival, leaving you with an ever-growing swarm of Bats, infinite sacrifice triggers, and a surplus of red mana.
