How it works

  1. Activate Need for Speed by sacrificing a land.
  2. Repeat step 1 until you control no lands.
  3. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing World Shaper.
  4. When World Shaper dies, it triggers, return all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
  5. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd triggers that many times.
  6. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning World Shaper from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  7. Resolve all remaining Emeria Shepherd triggers.
  8. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
  9. Repeat

This ingenious loop turns a graveyard into an unstoppable engine by leveraging the sacrifice outlet of Need for Speed to strip your board of lands, which powers the ultimate sacrifice of World Shaper to Phantom Train. When World Shaper perishes, its death trigger sweeps every land back onto the battlefield simultaneously, instantly feeding the landfall ability of Emeria Shepherd. Because those lands include Plains, Emeria Shepherd doesn't just hand you your cards back—she cheats World Shaper straight back onto the battlefield alongside any other fallen nonland permanents you desire.
