How it works

  1. Cast Irenicus's Vile Duplication by paying 3U mana, creating a token copy of Kodama of the East Tree that isn't legendary.
  2. Play Boros Garrison.
  3. Kodama of the East Tree, the Kodama of the East Tree token, and Boros Garrison trigger.
  4. Resolve the Kodama of the East Tree token's trigger, choosing not to put anything from your hand onto the battlefield.
  5. Resolve the Boros Garrison trigger, returning it to your hand.
  6. Resolve the Kodama of the East Tree trigger, putting Boros Garrison onto the battlefield.
  7. The Kodama of the East Tree token and Boros Garrison trigger.
  8. Resolve the Boros Garrison trigger, returning it to your hand.
  9. Resolve the Kodama of the East Tree token's trigger, putting Boros Garrison onto the battlefield.
  10. Kodama of the East Tree and Boros Garrison trigger.
  11. Repeat from step 5.
  12. Cast Irenicus's Vile Duplication by paying 3U mana, creating a nonlegendary token copy of Kodama of the East Tree with haste.
  13. Play Boros Garrison.
  14. Both Kodama of the East Trees and Boros Garrison trigger.
  15. Resolve the token Kodama of the East Tree trigger, choosing not to put anything from your hand onto the battlefield.
  16. Resolve the Boros Garrison trigger, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
  17. Resolve the nontoken Kodama of the East Tree trigger, putting Boros Garrison from your hand onto the battlefield.
  18. The token Kodama of the East Tree and Boros Garrison trigger.
  19. Resolve the Boros Garrison trigger, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
  20. Resolve the token Kodama of the East Tree trigger, putting Boros Garrison from your hand onto the battlefield.
  21. The nontoken Kodama of the East Tree and Boros Garrison trigger.
  22. Repeat from step 5.

This clever loop hinges on duplicating your commander with Irenicus's Vile Duplication so that you control two instances of Kodama of the East Tree, bypassing the legendary rule and doubling up on entry triggers. When you play Boros Garrison, its own bounce ability returns it to your hand, while its entry triggers the pair of Kodamas to drop it right back onto the battlefield. Because one Kodama can trigger off the other's cheated permanent and vice versa, this creates an infinite self-sustaining loop of land drops and returns, generating infinite landfall triggers to fuel any payoff you desire.
