How it works

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

This loop is masterminded by the dual-faced Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, whose Isilu side grants your nontoken creatures persist to bring them back from the dead. By utilizing Phantom Train to sacrifice Weaponcraft Enthusiast, you trigger that persist return while fueling the Train's ability to grow with +1/+1 counters. Every time Weaponcraft Enthusiast comes back, its fabricate ability triggers to create Servo tokens—or in this case, supply fresh fodder—while state-based actions immediately cancel out the -1/-1 counter with the new +1/+1 counter. This creates an endless cycle of sacrifices, deaths, and entries to continually pump up Phantom Train.
