This loop relies on Leonardo, Sewer Samurai to turn your graveyard into a second hand for tiny creatures, letting you cast Shield Sphere for zero mana over and over again. The secret sauce that makes this sustainable is Solemnity, which acts as a protective shield for your board—it prevents Leonardo's finality counters from ever landing on the Sphere, while also nullifying the -0/-1 counters that would normally dismantle the Sphere when it blocks. With that friction removed, Phantom Train happily devours the repeatedly resurrected Shield Sphere as fuel, growing larger with infinite +1/+1 counters while generating endless sacrifice, ETB, and death triggers.
