Niko, Light of Hope + Emiel the Blessed + A Realm Reborn + Phabine, Boss's Confidant

Niko, Light of Hope

Emiel the Blessed

A Realm Reborn

Phabine, Boss's Confidant

How it works

1. Activate Emiel by paying 3, blinking Niko.
2. When Niko enters, it triggers, creating two Shard tokens.
3. Activate Niko and the Shards by tapping them, adding 3.
4. Repeat.

This loop revolves around exploiting Niko, Light of Hope's ability to create Shard tokens upon entry while using Emiel the Blessed as a repeatable flicker engine. To keep the engine running, A Realm Reborn steps in as the crucial mana enabler, granting your newly minted Shards the ability to tap for mana and fund Emiel's activation cost. Meanwhile, Phabine, Boss's Confidant ensures that any tokens or creature contributions are given haste, rounding out a powerful value loop that generates infinite artifact and creature triggers.
