Emeria Shepherd + Aftermath Analyst + Amulet of Vigor + Need for Speed

Emeria Shepherd

Aftermath Analyst

Amulet of Vigor

Need for Speed

How it works

1. Activate any number of lands by tapping them, adding at least 3.
2. Activate Need for Speed by sacrificing a land.
3. Repeat step 2 until you control no lands.
4. Activate Aftermath Analyst by paying 3 and sacrificing it, returning all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.
5. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd and Amulet of Vigor trigger that many times.
6. Resolve all Amulet of Vigor triggers, untapping each land that entered.
7. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning Aftermath Analyst from your graveyard to the battlefield.
8. Resolve all other Emeria Shepherd triggers, returning any number of nonland permanents from your graveyard to either your hand or the battlefield.
9. Repeat.

This intricate loop sets up an incredible engine of renewal, anchored by Aftermath Analyst as both a self-miller and the ultimate mass-reanimation engine for your lands. By sacrificing your lands to fuel Need for Speed, you empty your board into the graveyard just in time for Aftermath Analyst to sweep them all back onto the battlefield at once. Because those lands enter tapped, Amulet of Vigor immediately steps in to untap them, refunding your mana and letting you do it all over again. Meanwhile, Emeria Shepherd capitalizes on every single landfall trigger to pluck Aftermath Analyst and the rest of your nonland permanents right out of the graveyard and straight onto the battlefield.
