Nick Valentine, Private Eye + Displaced Dinosaurs + Phantom Train

Nick Valentine, Private Eye

Displaced Dinosaurs

Phantom Train

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing another artifact creature.
2. When the creature dies, Nick Valentine triggers, creating a Clue token that enters the battlefield as a 7/7 Dinosaur due to Displaced Dinosaurs.
3. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
4. Repeat.

This clever loop turns your battlefield into a continuous engine of growth and investigation, legal in commander, legacy, oathbreaker, and vintage formats. With Displaced Dinosaurs transforming every incoming historic permanent into a massive 7/7 threat, sacrificing an artifact creature to fuel Phantom Train's ability instantly triggers Nick Valentine, Private Eye. Each sacrifice feeds a growing Phantom Train with fresh +1/+1 counters while generating a Clue token that miraculously arrives as a 7/7 Dinosaur. You can repeat this deadly loop as many times as you desire to rack up endless death triggers and scale your Phantom Train to apocalyptic proportions.
