Bloodstained Mire kicks off the chain by putting a land onto the battlefield, which simultaneously triggers Kodama of the East Tree and Retreat to Emeria; Kodama drops Ghost Town from hand, and Ghost Town's free bounce ability lets it return to hand before the next Retreat to Emeria trigger resolves, resetting the loop. The constraint is real — the combo only fires on an opponent's turn because Ghost Town's return-to-hand ability is restricted to that window, so the deck needs to be patient or find a way to pass priority safely.

How it works

Prerequisites

It is not your turn. There is a land card in your library that can be fetched using Bloodstained Mire. Your life total is at least 2.

Steps

Fetch a land using Bloodstained Mire.
When the fetched land enters, Retreat to Emeria and Kodama trigger.
Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Retreat to Emeria 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 Retreat to Emeria 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, Retreat to Emeria triggers.
Repeat from step 5.

Result

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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Retreat to Coralhelm covers the same Ghost Town loop in blue shells if the white enchantment is unavailable, though it swaps token production for untap triggers. Any fetchland replaces Bloodstained Mire as the ignition piece — Verdant Catacombs or Wooded Foothills work identically. The infinite tokens need a payoff that doesn't require your turn to matter; Purphoros, God of the Forge or an already-on-battlefield Impact Tremors closes the game without needing to attack.
