Blasting station combo explanation
Asked by Mediumrick 8 years ago
I have a question that may be simple, I may just be missing something here but can someone explain to me step by step how the Reveillark Karmic Guide Blasting Station infinite damage combo works? Let's say I have blasting station in play as well as Reveillark and Karmic Guide is in the GY. I tap station to sac rev which goes to the GY, triggering ltb effect bringing KG to the battlefield thus untapping blasting station and also brining back rev with KGs etb. Now I have two creatures that need to be sac'd but only one sac available with station due to it not being able to untap without a creature entering the battlefield. Am I missing something? How does this go infinite? I need help for my commander deck.

For each creature that enters the battlefield, Blasting Station's untap ability triggers that many times.
Tap Blasting Station to sac Reveillark, recurring Karmic Guide.
Karmic Guide and Blasting Station's ETB abilities trigger. You should stack them so Karmic Guide's ability resolves first, recurring Reveillark.
Now, you have a tapped Blasting Station with 2 instances of its untap ability on the stack.
Let the first one resolve, untapping it. Then, in response to the second ability still on the stack, tap it to sac Karmic Guide for 1 damage.
Let the second untap ability resolve, untapping Blasting Station.
You know have an identical game state as the one when starting the combo. Rinse and repeat for "infinite" damage".

The combo is all in how you control the triggers on the stack. It might seem fishy to newer players, but its how it works for these types of combos I guess.

Rules related questions need to be asked in the rules q and a. It's linked in the header bar. I'll move this for now.
