Arid Mesa's fetch triggers both Field of the Dead and Kodama of the East Tree; Kodama puts Ghost Town onto the battlefield for free, which loops back to hand at zero cost while Field of the Dead keeps cranking out 2/2 Zombies. The engine runs entirely on an opponent's turn, which sidesteps summoning sickness and most sorcery-speed interaction. Green landfall commanders — Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, or The Gitrog Monster splashing green — are the natural homes.

Result
Infinite ETB; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite creature tokens; Infinite landfall triggers
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Any fetchland that finds a basic works in place of Arid Mesa, so Windswept Heath, Wooded Foothills, or Prismatic Vista all slot in identically. The seven-land naming requirement is the real friction point — run a high density of differently-named utility lands like Boseiju, Who Endures and Bojuka Bog to hit the threshold earlier. The token flood wins the game on its own, but a free Craterhoof Behemoth off Kodama during the loop ends it immediately.
