Arid Mesa's fetch triggers both Kodama of the East Tree and Elfsworn Giant; Kodama drops Ghost Town from hand, Ghost Town's ETB chains the loop by triggering both again, and its zero-mana return ability puts it back in hand before the stack resolves. The restriction is real — this only fires on an opponent's turn, so the deck needs flash enablers like Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir or Vedalken Orrery to threaten it at will.
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
- Fetch a land using Arid Mesa.
- When the fetched land enters, Elfsworn Giant and Kodama trigger.
- Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
- When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Elfsworn Giant 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 Elfsworn Giant 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, Elfsworn Giant triggers.
- Repeat from step 5.

Result
Infinite ETB; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite creature tokens; Infinite landfall triggers
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Any fetchland works in place of Arid Mesa — Wooded Foothills, Windswept Heath, or Prismatic Vista all trigger the same chain as long as a fetchable land remains in library. The loop generates tokens and mana but needs a payoff already on board; Altar of Dementia mills the table on the spot, and Felidar Retreat or Retreat to Kazandu convert the landfall triggers into damage or pump if running white.
