I was skimming some old UB control decks and came across an interaction I was not aware of before. {Trading Post}'s third ability works marvelously well with one of my all time favorite cards, {Wurmcoil Engine}. You can sac the engine then retreive the engine and play it again gaining 2 3/3 guys each time, and there are possible shenanigans with other cards of course. However this would fit nicely in a tezzeret control deck if some kind.
That's awesome, toss that in a green deck with some {Parallel Lives} and let the fun begin
That's so evil
That's a great combo. I always thought {Trading Post} was a stupid card but I guess not with a combo like that
Trading post is a very useful cards. This clmbo is a little more intensive, but infinite combo with {palladium myr} ad 2 {myr galvanizer} with {march of the machines} out and play {standardize} to get an infinite combo infinite untapable trading post! If you ever manage that in a game let me know
Put a {splinter twin} on it...

You would need to use the fourth ability first or have a different artifact in your graveyard, though.
You couldn't sacrifice {Wurmcoil Engine} for third ability and target itself, as it wasn't a legal target when the ability was to be activated.
Still very effective, however.
Use 2 engines, sac one retrieve the other and repeat

Or use one engine, and put a clone effect on it to go for other cards.
