How it works

  1. Play Gruul Turf. When it enters untapped due to Spelunking, Gruul Turf and Springheart Nantuko trigger.
  2. Holding priority, activate Gruul Turf by tapping it, adding R manaG mana.
  3. Resolve the Gruul Turf trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Springheart Nantuko trigger, causing you to pay 1G mana to create a token copy of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.
  5. Because of the additional Dryad of the Ilysian Grove token, you can play an additional land this turn.
  6. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns a simple bounce land into a token-generating engine by stacking continuous land drops and untap replacement effects. With Spelunking ensuring Gruul Turf enters the battlefield untapped instead of slowed down, you can tap the land for mana in response to its own self-bounce trigger. Meanwhile, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove grants you the extra land drop needed to replay Gruul Turf endlessly, while Springheart Nantuko capitalizes on each new land arrival by paying to clone your Dryads.
