Arid Mesa fetches a land to kickstart the chain; Omnath, Locus of Rage and Kodama of the East Tree both trigger on each land entering, and Ghost Town's zero-cost return ability resets the loop by bouncing itself back to hand before the next Kodama trigger puts it right back down. The entire engine runs only on an opponent's turn because Ghost Town's second ability requires it not be your turn — that restriction is load-bearing, not incidental.

Recipe

How it works

01

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.

02

Steps

  1. Fetch a land using Arid Mesa.
  2. When the fetched land enters, Omnath and Kodama trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
  4. When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Omnath trigger.
  5. Holding priority, activate Ghost Town's first abiltiy by tapping it, adding {C}.
  6. Activate Ghost Town's second ability by paying {0}, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  7. Resolve the Omnath from step 4, creating a token.
  8. When the token enters, Kodama triggers, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
  9. When Ghost Town enters, Omnath triggers.
  10. Repeat from step 5.

03

Result

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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any fetchland that fetches a Forest or Mountain works in place of Arid Mesa — Wooded Foothills, Windswept Heath, or Scalding Tarn all close the circuit. The combo produces infinite tokens but needs Omnath, Locus of Rage already on the battlefield to deal damage; without a second win condition, the tokens sit until combat, so pair this with Goblin Bombardment or Impact Tremors to convert the loop into a same-turn kill.
