Emeria Shepherd + Aftermath Analyst + Overgrown Estate + Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

Emeria Shepherd

Aftermath Analyst

Overgrown Estate

Archelos, Lagoon Mystic

How it works

1. Activate any number of lands by tapping them, adding at least 3.
2. Activate Overgrown Estate by sacrificing a land.
3. Repeat step 2 until you control no lands.
4. Activate Aftermath Analyst by paying 3 and sacrificing it, returning all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield untapped due to Archelos.
5. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd triggers that many times.
6. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning Aftermath Analyst from your graveyard to the battlefield.
7. Resolve all other Emeria Shepherd triggers, returning any number of nonland permanents from your graveyard to either your hand or the battlefield.
8. Repeat.

This elegant loop transforms a graveyard full of lands and permanents into an unstoppable cascade of value, anchored by Archelos, Lagoon Mystic ensuring all those returning lands enter untapped. By sacrificing your lands to Overgrown Estate to fund the mana, you feed Aftermath Analyst, which sacrifices itself to return every land in your graveyard straight to the battlefield. Each of those arriving lands triggers Emeria Shepherd, allowing you to bypass your hand and drop Aftermath Analyst directly back onto the battlefield while bringing along any other nonland permanents you desire.
