Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider + Lesser Masticore + Rukarumel, Biologist + Phantom Train

Captain Storm, Cosmium Raider

Lesser Masticore

Rukarumel, Biologist

Phantom Train

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Lesser Masticore.
2. When Lesser Masticore dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
3. When Lesser Masticore enters the battlefield, Captain Storm triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on Lesser Masticore.
4. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop transforms your yard and board into an endless engine of growth, utilizing Rukarumel, Biologist to bridge crucial creature types so Lesser Masticore is treated as a Pirate. When you sacrifice Lesser Masticore to Phantom Train, its persist ability brings it back with a -1/-1 counter, which is immediately canceled out by the +1/+1 counter placed by Captain Storm's trigger whenever an artifact enters. This continuous cycle lets you repeat the process indefinitely, generating limitless death triggers, sacrifice triggers, and massive power for your board.
