How it works

  1. Play Dakmor Salvage.
  2. When Dakmor Salvage enters, Nesting Dragon and Kodama trigger.
  3. Resolve the Kodama trigger, choosing to put nothing onto the battlefield.
  4. Holding priority, activate Trenching Steed by sacrificing Dakmor Salvage.
  5. The Gitrog Monster's second ability triggers, causing you to mill two cards and return Dakmor Salvage from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. If a land was milled this way, The Gitrog Monster's second ability triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  7. Resolve the Trenching Steed ability
  8. Resolve the Nesting Dragon trigger, creating a token.
  9. When the token enters the battlefield, Kodama triggers, putting Dakmor Salvage from your hand onto the battlefield.
  10. When Dakmor Salvage enters the battlefield, Nesting Dragon triggers.
  11. Repeat from step 4.

This clever loop transforms simple land drops into an endless engine by leveraging Dakmor Salvage's dredge ability alongside The Gitrog Monster's constant card draws whenever lands hit the graveyard. As you feed Dakmor Salvage to Trenching Steed to pump its toughness, Nesting Dragon dutifully creates a Dragon Egg token on landfall. That token entering the battlefield triggers Kodama of the East Tree, allowing you to seamlessly loop Dakmor Salvage right back onto the battlefield to restart the entire sequence.
