Cloudstone Curio + Phyrexian Dreadnought + Thermopod + Life Finds a Way

Cloudstone Curio

Phyrexian Dreadnought

Thermopod

Life Finds a Way

How it works

1. Cast Phyrexian Dreadnought by paying 1.
2. When Phyrexian Dreadnought enters the battlefield, it and Life Finds a Way trigger.
3. Resolve the Life Finds a Way trigger, creating a copy of any nonartifact creature token you control.
4. When the creature token enters the battlefield, Cloudstone Curio triggers, returning Phyrexian Dreadnought to your hand from the battlefield.
5. Resolve the Phyrexian Dreadnought trigger from sttep 2, doing nothing.
6. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing a creature token, adding .
7. Repeat.

This clever loop hinges on exploiting Cloudstone Curio's bounce trigger with the absurd efficiency of Phyrexian Dreadnought. When you cast the Dreadnought, its entry triggers both Life Finds a Way—which populates a creature token—and its own sacrifice clause, which you can simply ignore. As that new token enters, Cloudstone Curio notices a nonartifact permanent entering and forces you to return the original Dreadnought safely to your hand to be recast. Meanwhile, Thermopod sits ready to sacrifice your newly generated token for red mana to fund the next iteration, letting you cycle the Dreadnought endlessly while generating infinite sacrifices, storm count, and entry triggers.
