How it works

  1. Play a land. When the land enters, Springheart Nantuko triggers, causing you to pay 1G mana to create a token copy of Dryad Arbor.
  2. When the Dryad Arbor token enters, Springheart Nantuko triggers. Holding priority, activate the Dryad Arbor token by tapping it, adding G mana.
  3. Nikya of the Old Ways triggers, adding G mana.
  4. Resolve the Springheart Nantuko trigger, causing you to pay 1G mana to create a token copy of Dryad Arbor.
  5. Repeat from step 2.

This loop transforms a simple land drop into an engine of endless replication by putting Springheart Nantuko's landfall ability to work on a land-creature. Each time you play a land, Springheart Nantuko lets you pay mana to copy Dryad Arbor, which immediately triggers another landfall check upon entry. While Nikya of the Old Ways prevents you from casting noncreature spells, its mana-doubling static ability effortlessly fuels the repeated {1}{G} payments every time you tap the newly generated token for mana. Though Yarus, Roar of the Old Gods rests on the battlefield with its own unique abilities for face-down creatures, this particular loop relies entirely on the continuous cycle between the Nantuko, the Arbor, and Nikya to flood the board with infinite creature tokens and landfall triggers.
