Jyoti, Moag Ancient + Food Chain + Lotus Cobra

Jyoti, Moag Ancient

Food Chain

Lotus Cobra

How it works

1. Cast Jyoti from the command zone by paying 2 plus commander tax, if applicable.
2. When Jyoti enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Forest Dryad creature token for each time you've cast Jyoti from the command zone this game.
3. When the Forest Dryads enter the battlefield, Lotus Cobra triggers that many times, adding 1 for each Forest Dryad.
4. Activate Food Chain by exiling Jyoti, adding that can only be spent to cast creature spells.
5. Choose to return Jyoti from exile to the command zone.
6. Activate Food Chain by exiling a Forest Dryad token, adding that can only be spent to cast creature spells.
7. Repeat step 6 for each remaining Forest Dryad token.
8. Repeat from step 1.
9. Once you have infinite mana, you may forego exiling the Forest Dryads.

This elegant loop transforms the command zone into an engine of continuous rebirth, using Food Chain to repeatedly sacrifice Jyoti, Moag Ancient and its burgeoning dryad army for more than enough mana to recast your commander. Each iteration grows Jyoti's commander tax while simultaneously swelling the ranks of tokens produced upon reentry, which in turn feed Lotus Cobra's landfall triggers to line your mana pool with every color you need. Because Food Chain's exile cost generates a surplus of mana based on each creature's mana value, you can easily filter and profit off the cycle while leaving a growing hoard of Forest Dryad land creature tokens behind.
