How it works

  1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Workshop Assistant, adding R mana.
  2. When Workshop Assistant dies, it and Anax trigger.
  3. Resolve the Anax trigger, creating a 1/1 Satyr creature token.
  4. Resolve the Workshop Assistant trigger, returning Junk Diver from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Satyr, adding R mana.
  6. Cast Junk Diver by paying 2.
  7. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Junk Diver, adding R mana.
  8. When Junk Diver dies, it and Anax trigger.
  9. Resolve the Anax trigger, creating a 1/1 Satyr creature token.
  10. Resolve the Junk Diver trigger, returning Workshop Assistant from your graveyard to your hand.
  11. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Satyr, adding R mana.
  12. Cast Workshop Assistant by paying 2.
  13. Repeat.

This clever recycling loop harnesses the recursive power of artifacts to generate endless red mana and triggers. With Foundry Inspector discounting your artifact creatures so they cost just two mana to recast, Workshop Assistant and Junk Diver can trade places in your graveyard endlessly by targeting each other when they die. Meanwhile, Thermopod turns each of those sacrifices into the mana needed to keep the cycle going, while Anax, Hardened in the Forge watches the carnage unfold to churn out an endless horde of Satyr tokens.
