The 4 combo pieces

What must be in place

You have lost at least 3 life this turn.
Rowan does not have summoning sickness.

How to execute it

  1. Activate Rowan by tapping it, reducing the cost of all black and/or red spells you cast this turn by at least {3}.
  2. Cast Seething Anger with buyback by paying {R} due to Rowan's ability, targeting any creature.
  3. Deekah triggers, creating a 0/0 Fractal creature token, then putting a +1/+1 counter on the Fractal.
  4. Resolve Seething Anger, giving target creature +3/+0 until end of turn and returning Seething Anger to your hand.
  5. Activate Thermopod's second ability by sacrificing the Fractal, adding {R}.
  6. Repeat from step 2.
