How it works
- Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing the persist creature.
- When the persist creature dies, it and Smothering Abomination trigger.
- Resolve the Smothering Abomination trigger, causing you to draw a card.
- Resolve the persist creature's trigger, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield with a -1/-1 counter on it.
- When the persist creature enters the battlefield, Olivia triggers, putting a +1/+1 counter on the persist creature and causing you to discard a card.
- Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
- Repeat.
This clever loop turns a persist creature's self-resurrection into a churning engine of sacrifice and rebirth. By feeding the persist creature to Phantom Train, you instantly trigger Smothering Abomination to draw you a card while sending the creature to the graveyard. When it returns to the battlefield, Olivia, Mobilized for War steps in with a discard to slap a +1/+1 counter on it, which immediately neutralizes its incoming -1/-1 counter and primes it to be sacrificed all over again.
