Lake of the Dead sacrifices Drownyard Temple for four black mana; Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is the linchpin that makes Drownyard Temple a Swamp, satisfying Lake's sacrifice requirement. Stone-Seeder Hierophant untaps Lake of the Dead on each land ETB, and Drownyard Temple pays three of the four mana to return itself from the graveyard — netting one black mana per loop and triggering landfall every iteration.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

—

02

Steps

  1. Activate Lake of the Dead's second ability by tapping it and sacrificing Drownyard Temple, as it's a Swamp due to Urborg, adding {B}{B}{B}{B}.
  2. Activate Stone-Seeder Hierophant by tapping it, untapping Lake of the Dead.
  3. Activate Drownyard Temple's second ability by paying {3}, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Drownyard Temple enters, Stone-Seeder Hierophant triggers, untapping it.
  5. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite black mana; Infinite landfall triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo collapses without Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth — it's the only piece with no clean substitute. Amulet of Vigor is not a replacement but pairs well, letting Drownyard Temple enter untapped to immediately fuel costs. Close with Retreat to Hagra, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, or any landfall payable creature already in a black-green landfall build — the infinite landfall triggers do the work.
