Overlord of the Hauntwoods

Displacer Kitten

Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines

Flickering Ward

Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

How it works

1. Cast Flickering Ward by paying .
2. Displacer Kitten triggers, blinking Overlord of the Hauntwoods.
3. When Overlord of the Hauntwoods enters the battlefield, it triggers twice, creating two tapped Everywhere land tokens, which enter untapped due to Archelos.
4. Resolve the Flickering Ward spell.
5. Activate the two Everywhere tokens by tapping them, adding .
6. Activate Flickering Ward by paying , returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
7. Repeat.

This brilliant loop turns the humble act of casting a protection spell into a limitless engine of creation, supercharged by Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines doubling up every entering trigger. Whenever you cast Flickering Ward, Displacer Kitten blinks Overlord of the Hauntwoods, and Elesh Norn ensures that this entry spawns a double harvest of Everywhere land tokens. Archelos, Lagoon Mystic deftly overrides the tokens' natural sluggishness, forcing them to enter the battlefield completely untapped so you can immediately tap them for the white mana needed to return Flickering Ward to your hand and start all over again.
