Is it worth to use Mana Web when you have already created a link between Shimmer, Orb of Dreams and Static Orb? Thanks for the help!

Shimmer and Orb of Dreams no longer interact like you may think. Since Ravnica, Phasing doesn't trigger ETB/LTB effects anymore.

702.24d The phasing event doesnt actually cause a permanent to change zones or control, even though its treated as though its not on the battlefield and not under its controllers control while its phased out. Zone-change triggers dont trigger when a permanent phases in or out. Counters remain on a permanent while its phased out. Effects that check a phased-in permanents history wont treat the phasing event as having caused the permanent to leave or enter the battlefield or its controllers control.

So I guess to answer your question, Mana Web might make a better replacement for Shimmer.

Oh! Thanks a lot! I did not know this rule. I guess you are right, Mana Web would probably work better in this case.
