Arid Mesa's fetch triggers both Kodama of the East Tree and Felidar Retreat; Kodama puts Ghost Town onto the battlefield for free, Ghost Town bounces itself back to hand, and the entering token triggers Kodama again to replay Ghost Town. The entire engine runs off one fetch activation and costs nothing beyond the 1 life — the loop is self-sustaining as long as it's not the pilot's turn, which is the load-bearing constraint here.

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, Felidar Retreat and Kodama trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
  4. When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Felidar Retreat 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 Felidar Retreat 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, Felidar Retreat 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 fetch land that searches a Plains or Forest slots in for Arid Mesa — Windswept Heath, Marsh Flats, and Misty Rainforest all work. The infinite tokens don't win immediately; pair the loop with Altar of Dementia to mill tables out, or close with Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge if red is in the command zone.
