This engine transforms a simple land drop into an infinite supply of black mana and landfall triggers by exploiting a clever loop with a bounce land. You start by using Budoka Gardener's tap ability to drop Dimir Aqueduct directly from your hand, which immediately triggers its self-bounce clause along with Amulet of Vigor's static ability to untap the land the moment it enters. This lets you tap the Aqueduct for mana before its own trigger bounces it safely back to your hand, ready to be played again. Meanwhile, Freed from the Real enchants the Gardener, letting you continuously spend blue mana to untap it so you can repeat the whole process.
