How it works

  1. Play any land.
  2. When the land enters the battlefield, each Scute Swarm you control triggers.
  3. Resolve the first trigger, creating either a 1/1 Insect creature token or a token copy of Scute Swarm.
  4. When the creature token enters the battlefield as a 1/1 Saproling that is also a Forest land due to Life and Limb and Conspiracy, each Scute Swarm you control triggers.
  5. Repeat from step 3.
  6. NOTE: This combo creates an infinite mandatory loop that will draw the game if it is not interacted with.

This intricate loop spins completely out of control thanks to a clever interplay of types that turns your token generation into a self-sustaining engine. With Conspiracy naming "Saproling," every creature token you create enters not just as its usual self, but simultaneously as a Saproling, which Life and Limb then transforms into a dual-typed Forest land as well. Because that newly spawned token is now a land entering the battlefield, it triggers Scute Swarm all over again to make another token, which once again arrives as a Saproling-Forest and feeds right back into Scute Swarm's landfall ability. Since this mandatory sequence has no built-in stopping point, it will endlessly replicate your insect swarm and force a draw if you cannot disrupt the loop.
