Emeria Shepherd + World Shaper + Shilgengar, Sire of Famine + Trenching Steed

Emeria Shepherd

World Shaper

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Trenching Steed

How it works

1. Activate Trenching Steed by sacrificing a land.
2. Repeat step 1 until you control no lands.
3. Activate Shilgengar by sacrificing World Shaper.
4. When World Shaper dies, it triggers, return all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
5. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd triggers that many times.
6. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning World Shaper from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Resolve all remaining Emeria Shepherd triggers.
8. Resolve the Shilgengar ability.
9. Repeat

This intricate loop transforms a self-sacrificing land strategy into an engine of endless resurrection. By using Trenching Steed to clear your board of lands, you pave the way to sacrifice World Shaper to Shilgengar, Sire of Famine, triggering the Shaper's death ability to flood the battlefield with every land currently in your graveyard. Those lands instantly awaken Emeria Shepherd's landfall triggers, allowing you to bypass your hand and drop World Shaper straight back onto the battlefield whenever a Plains enters. With Shilgengar generating Blood tokens along the way—and providing the mass-recursions needed to kickstart the chain—you have all the components required to continuously loop your entire graveyard and overwhelm the table.
