This clever loop relies on Leonardo, Sewer Samurai to open your graveyard as a casting zone for small creatures, turning Shield Sphere into a recurring free resource since its power or toughness is 1 or less. Ordinarily, Leonardo would brandishingly exile your looping artifacts via finality counters, but Solemnity acts as an absolute shield against *all* counters, neutralizing both those finality markers and Shield Sphere's own self-shrinking drawback. Finally, Woe Strider provides the sacrifice outlet to send the Sphere back to the graveyard while granting you infinite scries and triggers, all fueled by the Sphere's zero-mana casting cost.
