Arid Mesa's fetch trigger fires Kodama of the East Tree and Zendikar's Roil simultaneously; Kodama puts Ghost Town into play free, and Ghost Town bounces itself back to hand for zero mana while tapping for colorless, resetting the engine. The whole sequence runs off an opponent's turn because Ghost Town's return ability is restricted to that window, making this a surprise combo that blanks most instant-speed interaction that targets sorcery-speed setups.

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, Zendikar's Roil and Kodama trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
  4. When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Zendikar's Roil 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 Zendikar's Roil 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, Zendikar's Roil 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 replaces Arid Mesa — Windswept Heath, Misty Rainforest, or even Terramorphic Expanse all fire the same chain as long as the library holds a fetchable land. The token flood is lethal with a haste-granter or a damage-on-ETB outlet like Impact Tremors already in play; without one, the tokens need to survive to the attack step, which gives the table a window to respond.
