Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth + Living Lands + Aether Flash

Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth

Living Lands

Aether Flash

How it works

1. Whenever a land enters the battlefield, it enters as a 1/1 Forest creature due to Yavimaya and Living Lands.
2. Aether Flash triggers, dealing 2 damage to the land.
3. The land dies as a state-based action due to having less than zero toughness.

This clever combination turns every single land entering the battlefield into an instant casualty. With Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth making all lands Forests and Living Lands turning those Forests into 1/1 creatures, the battlefield becomes intensely hostile to new real estate. As soon as a land hits the board, Aether Flash instantly triggers and deals 2 damage to it, sending the newly animated land straight to the graveyard as a state-based action with zero toughness.
