Princess Yue + Astral Dragon + Hulking Metamorph
How it works
- Cast Hulking Metamorph for its prototype cost by paying 2. Choose to have it enter as a copy of Princess Yue.
- Put Hulking Metamorph into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
- When Hulking Metamorph dies, it triggers, returning it from your graveyard to the battlefield as a land named Moon. Choose to have it enter as a copy of Astral Dragon, gaining its abilities.
- When Hulking Metamorph enters, it triggers, creating two token copies of itself, thus creating two copies of Moon with Astral Dragon's abilities, that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to its other types.
- Put all but one of the clones into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
- The Hulking Metamorph tokens each trigger. Resolve a trigger, creating two token copies of itself, thus creating two copies of Moon with Astral Dragon's abilities, that are 3/3 Dragon creatures in addition to its other types.
- Repeat from step 5.
This ingenious sequence transforms a flexible clone into an unstoppable loop by leveraging Princess Yue's unique property of returning to the battlefield as a land whenever she dies as a nonland creature. When you cast Hulking Metamorph for its prototype cost, you initially have it enter as a copy of Princess Yue, sending it straight to the graveyard via the legend rule and triggering her ability. That triggers Princess Yue to return as a land that copies Astral Dragon, whose entry trigger creates two token copies of itself. Because these tokens are copies of Princess Yue—which is both a legendary land named Moon and a creature thanks to Astral Dragon's text-modifying copy effect—they enter as lands and trigger their own Astral Dragon abilities, repeating the cycle infinitely to generate boundless tokens, triggers, and landfall.
