Aftermath Analyst + Strands of Night + Zuran Orb + Lotus Cobra

Aftermath Analyst

Strands of Night

Zuran Orb

Lotus Cobra

How it works

1. Activate Zuran Orb by sacrificing any land, causing you to gain 2 life.
2. Repeat step 1 until you have at least six land cards in your graveyard, with one of those cards being a Swamp.
3. Activate Aftermath Analyst by paying 3 and sacrificing it, returning all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
4. When the lands enter, Lotus Cobra triggers that many times, adding B/G for each trigger.
5. Activate Strands of Night by paying and 2 life and sacrificing a Swamp, returning Aftermath Analyst from your graveyard to the battlefield.
6. When Aftermath Analyst enters, it triggers, causing you to mill three cards.
7. Repeat.

This resilient self-sustaining engine relies on Zuran Orb to feed your graveyard with lands while insulating your life total against the cost of Strands of Night. Once enough lands—including a Swamp—hit the bin, Strands of Night easily pulls Aftermath Analyst back from the dead. That return triggers Aftermath Analyst to mill more cards, but its true power lies in its sacrifice ability, which floods the board with every land from your graveyard tapped. Every single one of those returning lands triggers Lotus Cobra to generate a cascade of colored mana, more than paying for your recurring costs and leaving you with infinite mana, life, and land drops to crush the table.
