Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight + Tatterkite + Phantom Train

Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight

Tatterkite

Phantom Train

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Tatterkite
2. When Tatterkite dies, its persist ability triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield without a -1/-1 counter on it due to its static effect.
3. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
4. Repeat.

This loop relies on the clever interplay between Phantom Train and Tatterkite, supercharged by Isilu, Carrier of Twilight (the back face of Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn). Because Tatterkite's static ability prevents counters from being placed on it, it completely bypasses the drawback of persist when it dies, allowing it to return to the battlefield endlessly each time you sacrifice it to Phantom Train. Phantom Train uses this sacrifice to grow larger with +1/+1 counters while generating an endless stream of artifact and creature triggers.
