Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Blasting Station + Clockwork Hydra

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

Blasting Station

Clockwork Hydra

How it works

1. Activate Blasting Station by tapping it and sacrificing Clockwork Hydra.
2. When Clockwork Hydra 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 Clockwork Hydra enters, Blasting Station triggers, untapping Blasting Station.
4. Resolve the Blasting Station ability.
5. Repeat.

This loop turns the life-draining artillery of Blasting Station into an infinite damage engine by leaning entirely on Clockwork Hydra's unique interplay with Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight. Because Isilu grants persist to your nontoken creatures, sacrificing the Hydra to Blasting Station sends it to the graveyard only to return immediately with a -1/+1 counter—which is instantly neutralized and reset by the Hydra's own replacement effect, allowing the cycle to repeat endlessly. With each iteration, Blasting Station untaps thanks to its own triggered ability upon the Hydra's re-entry, letting you machine-gun your opponents down while Eirdu and Isilu's lifelink and convoke abilities stand ready to support your broader strategy.
