I'm surprised this isn't in here. Play Dreadnought for 1 with Mirrorworks on the field. Pay the extra 2 to copy him. Make Mirrorworks' ability resolve first and create a copy. Now you have 2 Dreadnoughts. Let's call one of them Billy and the other one Jimmy. Sacrifice Billy to fulfill Jimmy's ETB condition. Billy's ETB condition will be unfulfilled thus he will have to be sac'ed, however Billy is no longer here... You killed him. So his ETB ability fizzles. Jimmy however is a perfectly healthy 12/12 Trample monster, ready to avenge his friend's death.

Torpor Orb from the same block also works, as does Sundial of the Infinite which was released just after New Phyrexia.

It's important to note that with this you will only get to keep the token copy, not the original card.  This is because the EtB trigger that goes on the stack first sits there and waits to resolve.  Because the token's EtB trigger goes on top of it, you must either sac the original to the token Dreadnought or end up losing them both.

You only get the token? Even better, then it combos with Elspeth Tirel!

LOL Ya Squillis, I probably should have specified that instead of giving them random, unrelated names.

Boyachi, wouldn't Doubling Season ruin it? lol The second token would also have an ETB condition would it not?

Yes, yes it would ruin it.

Ahh, but with 2 Doubling Season you'd get 2 Dreadnought's instead of one.  The one token becomes 2 tokens, which become 4 tokens instead.  Each one triggers with the EtB effect.  Token 1 kills the original, Token 2 kills Token 4, and Token 3 kills itself.  With Dreadnought, if you're not playing something like Torpor Orb, you will get Half the total number of Dreadnoughts entering the Battlefield rounded down.  1 Dreadnought and 5 tokens gets 3 Dreadnoughts, 1 Dreadnought and 8 tokens gets 4 Dreadnoughts, and 1 Dreadnought and 256 Tokens (for those playing with 4 Parallel Lives and 4 Doubling Season) you'd get 128 Dreadnoughts
