This lovely loop relies on Emiel the Blessed to continuously blink Niko, Light of Hope, whose arrival creates a fresh pair of Shard tokens every single time. Meanwhile, A Realm Reborn quietly transforms those Shards and Niko into mana sources by granting them `{T}: Add one mana of any color`, neatly funding Emiel's blinking activation cost. Concordant Crossroads ensures everything can tap the moment it hits the board without waiting around, letting you endlessly cycle through Niko's entrance triggers to generate infinite artifact and creature entry events.
