Archelos, Lagoon Mystic + Mystic Sanctuary + Second Sunrise + Thaumatog + Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait

Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

Mystic Sanctuary

Second Sunrise

Thaumatog

Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait

How it works

1. Activate Mystic Sanctuary and two Plains by tapping them, adding at least 1.
2. Activate Thaumatog's first ability three times by sacrificing Mystic Sanctuary and two Plains, giving Thaumatog +3/+3 until end of turn.
3. Cast Second Sunrise by paying 1, returning all land cards put into your graveyard this turn to the battlefield untapped due to Archelos.
4. When each land enters the battlefield, Aesi triggers that many times, and Mystic Sanctuary triggers once.
5. Resolve the Mystic Sanctuary trigger, putting Second Sunrise on top of your library from your graveyard.
6. Resolve the Aesi triggers, causing you to draw that many cards.
7. Repeat.
8. If you control additional lands, you may sacrifice them as well to get additional mana and triggers.

This brilliant loop relies on **Archelos, Lagoon Mystic** to completely rewrite how your lands arrive: with **Archelos, Lagoon Mystic** untapped, **Mystic Sanctuary** and your other sacrificed lands conveniently bypass their usual entry restrictions and hit the battlefield ready to use. Once they land, **Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait** steps in to turn every single land drop into fresh card advantage, feeding you right back into the engine. **Thaumatog** acts as the sacrificial outlet that sends your lands packing into the graveyard in the first place, clearing the way for **Second Sunrise** to sweep everything back to the battlefield. Because **Mystic Sanctuary** enters the battlefield untapped thanks to **Archelos, Lagoon Mystic**, its triggered ability fires off reliably to place **Second Sunrise** right back on top of your library for the next draw, letting you repeat this harmonious cycle indefinitely.
