Infinitely large creature until end of turn

How it works

  1. Cast Sylvan Awakening by paying 2G mana, causing all lands you control to become 2/2 Elemntal creatures with haste until end of turn.
  2. Activate Griffin Canyon's second ability by tapping it, untapping itself and giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
  3. Repeat step 2.

This clever loop relies on transforming your lands into creatures so they can interact directly with Griffin Canyon's untap ability. By casting Sylvan Awakening, all of your lands—including Griffin Canyon itself—become 2/2 Elemental creatures with haste, making them eligible targets for creature-specific effects. Normally, Griffin Canyon can only target a Griffin, but Maskwood Nexus solves this restriction by granting every creature you control all creature types, including Griffin. This allows Griffin Canyon to target itself, untapping and growing larger with each activation to create an infinitely huge land creature.
