Chulane, Teller of Tales + Retreat to Coralhelm + Nyxbloom Ancient + Simic Growth Chamber + Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

Chulane, Teller of Tales

Retreat to Coralhelm

Nyxbloom Ancient

Simic Growth Chamber

Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

How it works

1. Cast the creature in your hand by paying its mana cost.
2. Chulane triggers, causing you to draw a card and put Simic Growth Chamber from your hand onto the battlefield untapped due to Archelos.
3. When Simic Growth Chamber enters, it and Retreat to Coralhelm trigger.
4. Holding priority, activate Simic Growth Chamber by tapping it, adding due to Nyxbloom Ancient.
5. Resolve the Simic Growth Chamber trigger, returning it from your hand to the battlefield.
6. Resolve the Retreat to Coralhelm trigger, untapping Chulane.
7. Resolve the creature spell cast in step 1.
8. Activate Chulane by paying 3 and tapping it, returning the creature from the battlefield to your hand.
9. Repeat.

This magnificent engine relies on Chulane, Teller of Tales to repeatedly cast and bounce a creature, fueling our momentum with every iteration. The beauty of the loop is supercharged by Nyxbloom Ancient, which triples the mana we harvest from Simic Growth Chamber to easily pay for Chulane's activation cost while netting a massive surplus. Meanwhile, Retreat to Coralhelm untaps Chulane whenever Simic Growth Chamber triggers its landfall ability, and Archelos, Lagoon Mystic ensures the bounced land slips right back onto the battlefield ready to repeat the cycle without missing a beat.
