Read the persist ability again. It says put a -1/-1 counter and can't be played again if it has a -1/-1 counter and juniper order says it "ONLY" puts a +1/+1 counter "NOT" remove the -1/-1 counter. So you logic is invalid. Thank you...

and the infinite combo is having Soul Foundry, Ornithopter, Dross Scorpion and Blasting Station in play.

Remove Ornithopter from the game with Soul Foundry. Summon Ornithopter, Sacrifice it, Activate Dross Scorpion and untap Soul Foundry and repeat.

"reply to hokeymon"
go read the rules of the game. If a creature has a -1/-1 counter and a +1/+1 counter on its, they cancel each other out and they are both removed from the creature.

I second FugimSky's explanation.

The station combo was funny...What's cool is that they all had some uses beyond just the combo. Apart from the part where it was completely broken, Mirrodin was a fun block...

Hey, something worth playing Endrek Sahr with! I loves me some cheap saccing fodder.

Edit: Hey, Teysa, Orzhov Scion, Painter's Servant, and this. Infinite damage.

Combine this with a persist creature and Juniper Order Ranger to win the game.

Actually, the rules say this:
120.2. If a permanent has both a +1/+1 counter and a -1/-1 counter on it, N +1/+1 and N -1/-1 counters are removed from it as a state-based action, where N is the smaller of the number of +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters on it. See rule 704.
See this website for proof: http://www.wizards.com/magic/comprules/MagicCompRules_20091005.txt
This came directly from magicthegathering.com

Edit: Suppose you are losing a game, and you just want to die real fast. Then, play Darien, King of Kjeldor, have a 1/1 soldier token, and a blasting station. Now blast yourself to death. Also, if you have a Soul Warden, then you can do nothing to yourself infinitely lol.

Fugimsky:
Thanks. That sucks for my proliferate deck, though.

Why is no one pointing out the most obvious inf combo with this card? Everyone is posting 3-4 card combos when all you need is two... They are made for each other, literally.
Summoning Station + This

@Sleazebag

Unfortunately, Summoning Station makes colorless creatures, but not artifact creatures which would be necessary to untap Summoning Station.

@A0602
This is incorrect. This has the cost of "sacrifice a creature" and because of this you'll have to already have however many creatures in non-Sprouting Phytohydras before hand.

The Station order is:

Have creature: Blasting -> Salvaging -> Grinding -> Summoning -> Repeat

Have artifact: Grinding -> Summoning -> Blasting -> Salvaging -> Repeat

This card plus Reassembling Skeleton would freaking rule the board! Pay two to deal 1 damage to target creature or player! not too bad
