Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen + Combat Celebrant + Phantom Train

Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen

Combat Celebrant

Phantom Train

How it works

1. At the beginning of your combat phase, Ayara triggers, returning Combat Celebrant from your graveyard to the battlefield and giving it haste.
2. Declare Combat Celebrant as an attacker, choosing to exert it as it attacks.
3. Combat Celebrant triggers, untapping all other creatures you control and causing you to get an additional combat phase after this one.
4. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Combat Celebrant
5. Repeat each combat phase.

This relentless loop turns the graveyard into a revolving door of endless combat by pairing Ayara, Widow of the Realm // Ayara, Furnace Queen with a repeatable sacrifice outlet. At the start of combat, Ayara's front face reaches into your graveyard to pull out Combat Celebrant, bringing it straight to the battlefield with haste just in time to attack. As Combat Celebrant charges into battle, you exert it to trigger an extra combat phase and untap your team, after which Phantom Train immediately steps in to sacrifice the Celebrant—which not only pumps the Train with a +1/+1 counter and animates it, but also sends the Celebrant right back to the graveyard, ready for Ayara to resurrect it all over again in the next combat step.
