Blasting Station + Thran Vigil + Glen Elendra Archmage

Blasting Station

Thran Vigil

Glen Elendra Archmage

How it works

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

By looping Glen Elendra Archmage through the graveyard, this setup turns Blasting Station into a devastating win condition that can pepper the board to death. Whenever you sacrifice the Archmage to fuel the Station's damage, its persist ability brings it right back with a -1/-1 counter, which simultaneously satisfies Thran Vigil's graveyard trigger to place a balancing +1/+1 counter on it. These two opposing counters neatly cancel each other out as state-based actions, leaving the Archmage entirely pristine and ready to die all over again while Blasting Station untaps itself to repeat the carnage.
