Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Mighty Mutanimals + Thermopod

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

Mighty Mutanimals

Thermopod

How it works

1. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing it, adding .
2. When Thermopod dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Thermopod enters, Mighty Mutanimals triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Thermopod.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop leverages Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight's backside—Isilu, Carrier of Twilight—to grant persist to Thermopod, ensuring that whenever Thermopod is sacrificed to its own ability for red mana, it sneaks right back onto the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter. Enter Mighty Mutanimals to complete the alchemy, utilizing its alliance ability to immediately toss a +1/+1 counter onto Thermopod the moment it re-enters, which instantly annihilates those pesky -1/-1 counters via state-based actions. The result is an unstoppable engine of endless sacrifices, infinitely recurring creature triggers, and a boundless reservoir of red mana to fuel the rest of your game plan.
