Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Blasting Station + Weaponcraft Enthusiast

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Blasting Station

Weaponcraft Enthusiast

How it works

1. Activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing Weaponcraft Enthusiast.
2. When Weaponcraft Enthusiast dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Weaponcraft Enthusiast enters, its fabricate ability and Blasting Station trigger.
4. Resolve the Weaponcraft Enthusiast ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
5. Resolve the Blasting Station trigger, untapping it.
6. Resolve the Blasting Station ability from step 1.
7. Repeat.

This loop transforms the recursive engine of persist into a lethal weapon, relying on Isilu, Carrier of Twilight (the back face of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn) to grant your nontoken creatures the ability to return from the dead with a -1/-1 counter. When you sacrifice Weaponcraft Enthusiast to Blasting Station, its persist triggers because it enters the battlefield without any counters, immediately returning to cancel out its new -1/-1 counter thanks to the +1/+1 counters provided by its fabricate ability. Meanwhile, every single entry refreshes Blasting Station to fire off another point of damage, turning an endless cycle of sacrifice and rebirth into a devastating, game-ending barrage.
