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 intricate loop transforms a quiet opponent's turn into an unstoppable engine of destruction by turning Wylie Duke, Atiin Hero into a dedicated card-drawing machine whenever he taps to crew Heart of Kiran. Thanks to Maskwood Nexus, that card draw fuels The Watcher in the Water to churn out Tentacle tokens—which Maskwood Nexus also ensures count as Krakens—creating a self-sustaining cycle where each sacrifice to Blasting Station untaps both the Station and Wylie Duke, while the Watcher's dying triggers keep the Kraken ready to untap again.
