Éomer, Marshal of Rohan + Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad + Roshan, Hidden Magister + Phantom Train
How it works
- Declare Altaïr as an attacker. Altaïr triggers, exiling Éomer from your graveyard with a memory counter on it, and then creating a tapped and attacking token copy of each card you own that is exiled with a memory counter on it.
- Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing another legendary creature token except Éomer.
- When the creature dies, Éomer triggers, untapping all creatures you control and causing you to get an additional combat phase after this one.
- Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
- Repeat during each combat phase.
This fascinating combat loop turns your graveyard and combat steps into a relentless engine of recursion and endless aggression. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad serves as the ignition, bringing back Éomer, Marshal of Rohan as a tapped and attacking token copy each time he swings. Meanwhile, Roshan, Hidden Magister quietly stitches the board together by granting the Assassin creature type to your cards everywhere, ensuring Éomer satisfies Altaïr's graveyard criteria while acting as a legendary creature ready for sacrifice. That sacrifice is handled by Phantom Train, which consumes your extra bodies to pump itself up, instantly triggering Éomer's untap and granting you an additional combat phase. By repeating this sequence across endless combats, you continuously churn through death triggers and build a massive, trampling threat.
