Kodama of the East Tree + Maja, Bretagard Protector + Arid Archway

Kodama of the East Tree

Maja, Bretagard Protector

Arid Archway

How it works

1. Play Arid Archway.
2. When Arid Archway enters the battlefield, it, Maja, and Kodama of the East Tree trigger.
3. Resolve the Kodama of the East Tree trigger, choosing not to put anything from your hand onto the battlefield.
4. Resolve the Arid Archway trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
5. Resolve the Maja trigger, creating a token.
6. When the token enters the battlefield, Kodama triggers, putting Arid Archway from your hand onto the battlefield.
7. When Arid Archway enters the battlefield, it and Maja trigger.
8. Repeat from step 4.

This elegant loop relies on a clever interplay of bounce mechanics and triggered abilities to flood the board. When Arid Archway enters the battlefield, its own self-bounce trigger forces it right back to your hand, but Maja, Bretagard Protector's landfall ability turns that very same land drop into a 1/1 white Human Warrior creature token. That token's entry triggers Kodama of the East Tree, whose static-like presence allows you to immediately drop the freshly-returned Arid Archway back onto the battlefield from your hand without spending any mana. By continuously replaying the land and bouncing it to itself, Maja and Kodama effortlessly generate an infinite storm of creature tokens and landfall triggers.
