Blasting Station Combo Question
Asked by Profet93 7 years ago
Hey guys, I want to apologize in advance for all of the questions I've been asking.
I am currently confused as to how the Combo with Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Blasting Station works. This is what I understand so far...
Tap Blasting Station to send Reveillark to the graveyard
Karmic Guide + Fiend Hunter comes into play
Both Karmic Guide + Fiend Hunter come into play at the same time. Karmic Guide targets Reveillark, Fiend Hunter targets Karmic Guide.
I'm confused regarding the untapping of Blasting Station. With so many creatures coming into and out of play, how do you create the stack in a way that allows for blasting station to untap? Is there a step by step process on how this works?
Thank you for your thorough explanation though I am still a little confused
In step 2, you mentioned that I have two instances of the Blasting Station untap trigger.
In step 3, you said to stack my triggers so that Blasting Station's triggers resolve last. So in the end of Step 3, would the Blasting Station untap ability be a third separate trigger, leaving the 2 prior triggers still untouched?

Yes, in total when you start you'll have 3 instances of the untap trigger. Only 1 of them will be resolving, however.
While you go infinite, the stack would never actually go empty. You would always have those 2 untap triggers on the very bottom of the stack. So I guess those aren't all that important to the combo.

That makes sense! Thats what I thought you were saying but just wanted to make sure. I'm going to have to explain this combo to people so I'm trying my best to broaden my understanding of it.
Thank you for helping me with this as well as all the other questions you have answered and decks of mine that you have given me feedback on

Technically you don't even need Reveillark for this combo to work. He's just a utility card in case your two combo creatures get destroyed or something. He's an unnecessary complication for it.
All you need is Fiend Hunter in hand to cast to exile Karmic Guide or in the graveyard to be recurred by Karmic Guide.

Fiend Hunter and Karmic Guide are in your graveyard, Blasting Station is untapped and on the battlefield with Reveillark.
Tap Blasting Station, sac'cing Reveillark. Reveillark's LTB triggers, recurring Karmic Guide and Fiend Hunter.
When Karmic Guide and Fiend Hunter enter the battlefield, both their ETB abilities trigger along with 2 instances of Blasting Station's untap trigger.
Stack your triggers so that Blasting Station's triggers resolve last. Fiend Hunter's trigger resolves, exiling Karmic Guide. Karmic Guide's trigger resolves, recurring Reveillark, triggering Blasting Station's untap ability.
The topmost Blasting Station's trigger resolves, untapping it. Tap it to sacrifice Fiend Hunter to ping something. His LTB ability triggers, returning Karmic Guide to play, triggering its own ETB ability, and Blasting Station's untap ability.
Karmic Guide's etb ability resolves, returning Fiend Hunter to the battlefield, triggering both Blasting Station and Fiend Hunter's ETB ability, exiling Karmic Guide again.
You now have an identical board state the moment upon which you pinged something. Rinse and repeat sacrificing Fiend Hunter for an arbitrarily large amount of damage.
