How it works

  1. Activate Skyshroud Ranger by tapping it, putting Dimir Aqueduct onto the battlefield from your hand.
  2. When Dimir Aqueduct enters the battlefield, it and Amulet of Vigor trigger.
  3. Resolve the Amulet of Vigor trigger, untapping Dimir Aqueduct.
  4. Activate Dimir Aqueduct by tapping it, adding U manaB mana.
  5. Resolve the Dimir Aqueduct trigger from step 2, returning it to your hand from the battlefield.
  6. Activate Freed from the Real's second ability by paying U mana, untapping Skyshroud Ranger.
  7. Repeat.

This clever loop transforms a humble land-bounce mechanic into a bottomless well of resources by combining Skyshroud Ranger's ability to cheat lands directly into play with the steady mana-production of Dimir Aqueduct. The secret to keeping the engine running smoothly is Amulet of Vigor, which immediately untaps the bouncing land so it can be tapped for mana before it returns to your hand. Meanwhile, Freed from the Real enchants the Ranger, allowing you to untap it using the generated blue mana and repeat the cycle indefinitely for infinite black mana and landfall triggers.
