Kodama of the East Tree + Orzhov Basilica + Zendikar's Roil

Kodama of the East Tree

Orzhov Basilica

Zendikar's Roil

How it works

1. Play Orzhov Basilica.
2. When Orzhov Basilica enters the battlefield, it, Zendikar's Roil, 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 Orzhov Basilica trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
5. Resolve the Zendikar's Roil trigger, creating a token.
6. When the token enters the battlefield, Kodama triggers, putting Orzhov Basilica from your hand onto the battlefield.
7. When Orzhov Basilica enters the battlefield, it and Zendikar's Roil trigger.
8. Repeat from step 4.

This delightful loop hinges on the elegant interaction between Kodama of the East Tree and a bouncing land. When you play Orzhov Basilica, its entry triggers its own bounce ability alongside Zendikar's Roil and Kodama of the East Tree, setting the stage for a cascading chain of permanent deployment. Resolving the triggers allows Zendikar's Roil to churn out a 2/2 green Elemental creature token, whose arrival back on the battlefield then feeds Kodama of the East Tree's ability to seamlessly slip Orzhov Basilica straight back out from your hand. Because Orzhov Basilica automatically returns itself to your hand every time it arrives, you can repeat this self-sustaining cycle endlessly to flood the board with infinite creature tokens and landfall triggers.
