How it works

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

This clever loop hinges on the dual-faced nature of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, whose twilight side (Isilu) grants persist to your other nontoken creatures, allowing Ghave, Guru of Spores to return to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter whenever it dies. Blasting Station acts as the engine's primary sacrifice outlet and win condition, using its own untap trigger to refresh every time Ghave enters the battlefield anew. Because Ghave continuously recycles itself through the graveyard while pinging opponents to death with Blasting Station's damage ability, you achieve an endless cascade of sacrifice, death, and entry triggers.
