How it works

  1. Play a land.
  2. When the land enters, Retreat to Emeria triggers, creating a 1/1 Kor Ally creature token.
  3. When the Kor Ally enters, Haru triggers, earthbending the land that entered.
  4. Activate Lithatog by sacrificing the earthbended land.
  5. Haru triggers, returning the land from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
  6. When the land enters, Retreat to Emeria triggers, creating a 1/1 Kor Ally creature token.
  7. When the Kor Ally enters, Haru triggers, earthbending the land that entered.
  8. Resolve the Lithatog ability from step 4.
  9. Repeat from step 4.

This clever loop transforms a simple land drop into an engine of endless growth and creation, hinging on Haru, Hidden Talent's unique ability to recycle lands that double as creatures. When you play a land, Retreat to Emeria spawns a Kor Ally token, which in turn triggers Haru, Hidden Talent to earthbend that very land into a 0/0 creature. From there, you feed that animated land to Lithatog as a sacrifice; because Haru, Hidden Talent treats its death by returning it to the battlefield tapped, the land instantly re-enters to restart the entire sequence. This continuous cycle triggers Retreat to Emeria over and over to flood the board with infinite Kor Ally tokens, while also pumping Lithatog to astronomical proportions with endless land sacrifices.
