Junji, the Midnight Sky + Karmic Guide + Phantom Train + Cauldron of Essence

Junji, the Midnight Sky

Karmic Guide

Phantom Train

Cauldron of Essence

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Karmic Guide.
2. When Karmic Guide dies, Cauldron of Essence triggers, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
3. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
4. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Junji.
5. When Junji dies, it and Cauldron of Essence trigger.
6. Resolve the Cauldron of Essence trigger, causing you to gain 1 life and each opponent to lose 1 life.
7. Resolve the Junji trigger, returning Karmic Guide from your graveyard to the battlefield and causing you to lose 2 life.
8. When Karmic Guide enters, it triggers, returning Junji from your graveyard to the battlefield.
9. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
10. Repeat.

This intricate loop turns the sacrifice outlet of Phantom Train into an engine of continuous rebirth by cycling your heavy-hitting legends between the battlefield and the graveyard. Every iteration relies on Cauldron of Essence to drain your opponents while fueling the recursion, ensuring that the life payment from Junji, the Midnight Sky is quickly offset. As Junji and Karmic Guide endlessly trade places entering and leaving the battlefield, the resulting parade of triggers pumps Phantom Train full of infinite +1/+1 counters while draining the table dry.
