How it works

  1. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing Scrap Trawler, adding R mana.
  2. When Scrap Trawler dies, it and Anax trigger.
  3. Resolve the Anax trigger, creating a 1/1 Satyr creature token.
  4. Resolve the Scrap Trawler 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 Scrap Trawler from your graveyard to your hand.
  10. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Satyr, adding R mana.
  11. Cast Scrap Trawler by paying 2.
  12. Repeat.

This intricate loop hinges on an infinite recursion between Scrap Trawler and Myr Retriever, which constantly swap places from the graveyard back to your hand each time they are sacrificed to Thermopod. As these artifacts meet their demise, Anax, Hardened in the Forge watches on to populate your board with a steady stream of Satyr tokens that can also be fed to Thermopod for a surplus of red mana. Meanwhile, Jhoira's Familiar quietly does the heavy lifting in the background, reducing the casting costs of your looping artifacts so you can keep the engine running indefinitely.
