How it works

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

This clever recycling loop thrives on the cost-reducing presence of Helm of Awakening, which makes casting your artifact retrievers cheap enough to sustain. You feed them to Thermopod for mana, while Anax, Hardened in the Forge turns every death into a growing army of Satyr tokens. Because Junk Diver and Myr Retriever can endlessly pluck each other from the graveyard whenever they hit the bin, the sacrifice engine just keeps spinning.
