How it works

  1. Activate Gaea's Cradle by tapping it, adding at least 3.
  2. Activate Troubled Healer by sacrificing Gaea's Cradle.
  3. Activate Tayam by paying 3 and removing three counters from creatures you control, causing you to mill three cards and return Gaea's Cradle from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  4. When Gaea's Cradle enters, Mossborn Hydra triggers, doubling the number of +1/+1 counters on it.
  5. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns graveyard recursion and landfall into a self-sustaining engine, fueled by Gaea's Cradle tapping for immense green mana thanks to your board. You use Troubled Healer to sacrifice Gaea's Cradle into the graveyard, clearing the way for Tayam, Luminous Enigma to use its activated ability—paying three mana and stripping counters from your creatures to bring the Cradle right back. Every single time Gaea's Cradle re-enters the battlefield, it triggers Mossborn Hydra's landfall ability to exponentially double its +1/+1 counters, which in turn supply the very counters Tayam needs to keep the loop going indefinitely.
