Myr Retriever

Workshop Assistant

Thermopod

Cloud Key

How it works

1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Workshop Assistant, adding .
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 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 .
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 Workshop Assistant from your graveyard to your hand.
10. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Satyr, adding .
11. Cast Workshop Assistant by paying 2.
12. Repeat.

This clever loop turns a graveyard recursion engine into a self-sustaining sacrifice machine by ping-ponging artifacts back and forth. You use Thermopod to sacrifice Workshop Assistant and Myr Retriever alternately, leveraging their death triggers to continually return one another to your hand while generating red mana along the way. Cloud Key plays a vital role by reducing the casting costs of your creatures, making the loop mana-positive so you can repeatedly replay them. Meanwhile, Anax, Hardened in the Forge watches the carnage and converts every single death into an endless army of Satyr tokens.
