Golgari Thug + Dross Harvester + Phantom Train + Gwenom, Remorseless

Golgari Thug

Dross Harvester

Phantom Train

Gwenom, Remorseless

How it works

1. Activate Phantom Train by sacrificing Golgari Thug.
2. When Golgari Thug dies, it and Dross Harvester trigger.
3. Resolve the Golgari Thug trigger, putting it from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
4. Resolve the Dross Harvester trigger, causing you to gain 2 life.
5. Resolve the Phantom Train ability.
6. Cast Golgari Thug from the top of your library by paying 2 life.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the graveyard into a reliable recycling plant by leveraging Gwenom, Remorseless to continuously cast spells directly from the top of your library for a mere 2 life. Phantom Train acts as your reliable sacrifice outlet, feeding on Golgari Thug to pump its own stats while sending the Thug straight to the graveyard. That death triggers Golgari Thug's own ability to place itself right back on top of your library, as well as Dross Harvester's passive lifegain ability—which neatly offsets the life you pay to Gwenom, Remorseless and softens Dross Harvester's own end-step life loss.
