Arid Mesa's fetch kicks off a chain where Kodama of the East Tree puts Ghost Town onto the battlefield for free each time a permanent enters, and Dragonback Assault creates a creature token off each land ETB. Ghost Town taps for colorless, then bounces itself back to hand at zero cost, letting Kodama replay it off the incoming token — the loop sustains itself until the library is empty of fetchable lands, then runs on its own token engine. The whole thing fires on an opponent's turn because Kodama's trigger requires a nontoken permanent entering during someone else's turn to function.

How it works

Prerequisites

It is not your turn. There is a land card in your library that can be fetched using Arid Mesa. Your life total is at least 2.

Steps

Fetch a land using Arid Mesa.
When the fetched land enters, Dragonback Assault and Kodama trigger.
Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Dragonback Assault trigger.
Holding priority, activate Ghost Town's first abiltiy by tapping it, adding .
Activate Ghost Town's second ability by paying , returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
Resolve the Dragonback Assault from step 4, creating a token.
When the token enters, Kodama triggers, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
When Ghost Town enters, Dragonback Assault triggers.
Repeat from step 5.

Result

Infinite ETB; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite creature tokens; Infinite landfall triggers

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any fetch land with white or red in its color pair slots in for Arid Mesa — Bloodstained Mire, Scalding Tarn, Sacred Foundry fetched off the trigger — the exact fetch is irrelevant as long as it grabs a legal target. The infinite tokens need a payoff already on the battlefield; Purphoros, God of the Forge or Impact Tremors converts each Ghost Town and token ETB into lethal damage without needing to attack.
