Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait + Mystic Sanctuary + Tidal Bore + Llanowar Scout

Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait

Mystic Sanctuary

Tidal Bore

Llanowar Scout

How it works

1. Cast Tidal Bore by returning Mystic Sanctuary from the battlefield to your hand, untapping Llanowar Scout.
2. Activate Llanowar Scout by tapping it, putting Mystic Sanctuary from your hand onto the battlefield.
3. When Mystic Sanctuary enters the battlefield, it and Aesi trigger.
4. Resolve the Mystic Sanctuary trigger, putting Tidal Bore on top of your library from your graveyard.
5. Resolve the Aesi trigger, causing you to draw Tidal Bore from the top of your library.
6. Activate Mystic Sanctuary by tapping it, adding .
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop turns a humble common and an uncommon land into an unstoppable engine by exploiting Mystic Sanctuary's recursive landfall trigger. By casting Tidal Bore for its alternative cost—bouncing Mystic Sanctuary to your hand—you set up a closed circuit where Llanowar Scout drops the land right back onto the battlefield, immediately letting Mystic Sanctuary stack Tidal Bore back on top of your library. Meanwhile, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait watches over the whole operation, turning every single land drop into an instant card draw that feeds the very spell you need to keep the cycle spinning.
