Celes, Rune Knight + Crystalline Crawler + Forsaken Miner + Triskelion + Phantom Train

Celes, Rune Knight

Crystalline Crawler

Forsaken Miner

Triskelion

Phantom Train

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Forsaken Miner.
2. If able, activate Crystalline Crawler's first ability by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, adding .
3. Activate Triskelion by removing a +1/+1 counter from it, targeting an opponent or a permanent an opponent controls.
4. When you commit that crime, Forsaken Miner triggers, causing you to pay to return Forsaken Miner from your graveyard to the battlefield.
5. When Forsaken Miner enters the battlefield, Celes's second ability triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control.
6. Resolve the Triskelion ability from step 3.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop hinges on Triskelion serving as our designated criminal, dealing damage to an opponent or their permanent to trigger Forsaken Miner's resurrection ability. As Forsaken Miner claws its way back from the graveyard, Celes, Rune Knight rewards the recurring entry by pumping your entire board with fresh +1/+1 counters. Meanwhile, Phantom Train is waiting in the wings to cleanly sacrifice the Miner all over again, while Crystalline Crawler converts those accumulated counters back into the black mana needed to fuel the cycle.
