How it works

  1. Activate Blasting Station by sacrificing Tatterkite
  2. When Tatterkite dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to its static effect.
  3. When Tatterkite enters, Blasting Station triggers, untapping Blasting Station.
  4. Resolve the Blasting Station ability from step 1.
  5. Repeat.

This clever loop centers around Isilu, Carrier of Twilight—the backside of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn—which grants persist to your other nontoken creatures, turning every death into a recycling opportunity. Normally, persist would leave a -1/-1 counter behind to shut down the loop, but Tatterkite completely bypasses this limitation with a static ability that prevents counters from ever being placed on it. This allows Tatterkite to enter the battlefield fresh every single time. Meanwhile, Blasting Station provides the sacrificial outlet to trigger the cycle, and its own untap trigger fires every time Tatterkite returns, letting you repeat the process endlessly to deal lethal damage to any target.
