How it works

  1. Play a basic Forest card from your hand.
  2. Kodama and Maja trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, choosing to put nothing onto the battlefield from your hand.
  4. Holding priority, activate the basic Forest by tapping it, adding G mana.
  5. Resolve the Maja trigger, creating a 1/1 Human Warrior creature token.
  6. When the Human Warrior enters the battlefield, Kodama triggers.
  7. Holding priority, activate Living Twister's second ability by paying G mana, returning the Forest from the battlefield to your hand.
  8. Resolve the Kodama trigger, putting the Forest onto the battlefield from your hand.
  9. When the Forest enters the battlefield, Maja triggers.
  10. Repeat from step 4.

This clever loop relies on the cascading synergy between Kodama of the East Tree and Maja, Bretagard Protector to turn a single land drop into an endless cascade of triggers. As Maja's landfall ability responds to the Forest entering by creating a Human Warrior token, Kodama's triggered ability sees that new entry and lets you cheat a permanent from your hand—specifically that same Forest, which you bounce right back to your hand using Living Twister's activated ability fueled by the land's own mana. Because the Forest continually enters and leaves the battlefield, Kodama of the East Tree and Maja, Bretagard Protector feed each other infinitely while Living Twister expertly manages the loop's physical components.
