How it works

  1. Cast Faith's Reward by paying its mana cost
  2. Holding priority, cast Dualcaster Mage by paying its mana cost.
  3. When Dualcaster Mage enters, it triggers, targeting Faith's Reward.
  4. Holding priority, activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Dualcaster Mage.
  5. Resolve the Dualcaster Mage trigger, copying Faith's Reward
  6. Resolve the Faith's Reward copy, returning Dualcaster Mage from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  7. Repeat from step 3.

This clever loop centers around casting Faith's Reward to pull your sacrificed permanents back into play, but it’s the addition of Dualcaster Mage and Phantom Train that turns a simple resurrection spell into an engine for infinite value. When you cast Faith's Reward and drop Dualcaster Mage into the mix, the Mage's entry trigger targets the original spell, setting up an ongoing loop where every copy brings the Mage right back from the graveyard. Phantom Train acts as the necessary sacrifice outlet to keep the loop moving by feeding on Dualcaster Mage, while simultaneously growing itself with +1/+1 counters each time it animates and consumes a creature.
