How it works

  1. Activate Starved Rusalka by paying G mana and sacrificing Dragon's Eye Savants.
  2. When Dragon's Eye Savants dies, Yedora triggers, returning Dragon's Eye Savants to the battlefield face down as a Forest land.
  3. Resolve the Starved Rusalka ability, causing you to gain 1 life.
  4. Activate Dragon's Eye Savants by tapping it, adding G mana.
  5. Activate Dragon's Eye Savants's morph ability by revealing a blue card from your hand, turning it face up.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop turns your battlefield into a self-sustaining engine by exploiting how Yedora, Grave Gardener interacts with creatures that can disguise themselves. When Starved Rusalka sacrifices Dragon's Eye Savants, Yedora steps in to resurrect it not as a creature, but as a face-down Forest land. Because this newly minted land keeps the underlying characteristics of its physical card, you can immediately tap it for green mana to help pay the activation cost for Starved Rusalka, then turn the Dragon's Eye Savants back face up using its morph ability so it's ready to be sacrificed all over again.
