Emeria Shepherd + World Shaper + Zuran Orb + Thermopod

Emeria Shepherd

World Shaper

Zuran Orb

Thermopod

How it works

1. Activate Zuran Orb by sacrificing a land.
2. Repeat step 1 until you control no lands.
3. Activate Thermopod by sacrificing World Shaper.
4. When World Shaper dies, it triggers, return all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
5. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd triggers that many times.
6. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning World Shaper from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Resolve all remaining Emeria Shepherd triggers.
8. Repeat

This loop is a masterclass in recycling your own resources, turning Zuran Orb into a free sacrifice outlet to strip your board of lands while padding your life total. Once your lands are gone, Thermopod steps in to cleanly sacrifice World Shaper, whose death trigger floods the battlefield with every land currently sitting in your graveyard. Those returning lands trigger Emeria Shepherd over and over, allowing you to bypass your hand and drop World Shaper directly back onto the battlefield for free if a Plains is among the batch, while also pulling any other nonland permanent card you desire out of the graveyard.
