How it works

  1. Play Dromar's Cavern.
  2. When Dromar's Cavern enters, it and Retreat to Emeria trigger.
  3. Resolve the Retreat to Emeria trigger, creating a 1/1 Kor Ally creature token.
  4. When the Kor Ally enters, Haru triggers, earthbending Dromar's Cavern.
  5. Resolve the Dromar's Cavern trigger from step 2, causing you to sacrifice it
  6. Haru triggers, returning Dromar's Cavern from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  7. Repeat from step 2.

This clever loop turns the self-bouncing drawback of Dromar's Cavern into an engine of endless rebirth, using the land's own sacrifice trigger to feed the cycle instead of locking you out of resources. Every time Dromar's Cavern enters the battlefield, Retreat to Emeria capitalizes on the landfall trigger to deploy a 1/1 white Kor Ally creature token. That new Ally immediately awakens Haru, Hidden Talent, whose earthbend ability turns your land into a creature with a built-in safety net; when the inevitable Dromar's Cavern trigger forces you to sacrifice it, Haru brings it right back to the battlefield tapped to do it all over again.
