How it works

  1. During an opponent's turn, activate Heart of Kiran by tapping Wylie Duke.
  2. Wylie Duke triggers, causing you to draw a card and gain 1 life.
  3. The Watcher's first ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Tentacle creature token.
  4. When the Tentacle enters, Blasting Station triggers, untapping Blasting Station.
  5. Resolve the Heart of Kiran ability, causing it to become a creature until end of turn.
  6. Activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing the Tentacle.
  7. When the Tentacle dies, The Watcher's second ability triggers, untapping Wylie Duke and putting a stun counter on up to one permanent.
  8. Resolve the Blasting Station ability
  9. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero into a tap-and-untap engine by letting you crew Heart of Kiran at instant speed during an opponent's turn. Because Leyline of Transformation redefines your creatures to share a chosen type, it weaves the pieces together while The Watcher in the Water rewards your instant-speed card draw with a steady stream of Tentacle tokens. Each token untaps Blasting Station as it enters, and when you sacrifice it to Blasting Station's gun, The Watcher's dying trigger untaps Wylie Duke so the entire cycle can begin anew.
