Bloodstained Mire kicks off the chain by fetching a land, which simultaneously triggers Kodama of the East Tree and Curse of the Restless Dead; Kodama drops Ghost Town onto the battlefield for free, and Ghost Town's bounce ability returns it to hand before the dust settles, resetting the loop. The whole engine runs on an opponent's turn — Kodama's trigger requires the permanent enter alongside another permanent entering, and Ghost Town's free return keeps feeding that condition indefinitely once the first token hits.

Recipe

How it works

01

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.

02

Steps

  1. Fetch a land using Bloodstained Mire.
  2. When the fetched land enters, Curse of the Restless Dead and Kodama trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting Ghost Town from your hand onto the battlefield.
  4. When Ghost Town enters, Kodama and Curse of the Restless Dead 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 Curse of the Restless Dead 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, Curse of the Restless Dead 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 fetchland that tutors a legal target works as the starter — Verdant Catacombs and Marsh Flats are the cleanest fits in black-green but any fetch with overlap into the library suffices. The loop creates tokens but doesn't close on its own; pair it with Zulaport Cutthroat or Altar of Dementia to convert the infinite token stream into a kill before passing priority back.
