How it works

  1. Activate Krark-Clan Ironworks 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. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on Isilu, Carrier of Twilight—the night-facing side of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn—to grant your other nontoken creatures persist, turning your graveyard into a revolving door. Because Tatterkite's static ability prevents it from ever taking on -1/-1 counters, it completely bypasses the traditional downside of persist, allowing it to return to the battlefield fresh every single time. You can feed this endlessly recurring mechanical bug into Krark-Clan Ironworks, sacrificing Tatterkite to generate an abundant supply of colorless mana along with an endless storm of artifact and creature triggers.
