Zinnia, Valley's Voice + Cloud of Faeries + Animar, Soul of Elements + Shrieking Drake

Zinnia, Valley's Voice

Cloud of Faeries

Animar, Soul of Elements

Shrieking Drake

How it works

1. Cast Cloud of Faeries with offspring by paying 1 using the cost reduction from Animar.
2. When Cloud of Faeries enters, its own ability and its offspring ability trigger.
3. Resolve the Cloud of Faeries abilities, untapping two lands.
4. Resolve the offspring ability, creating a token copy of Cloud of Faeries.
5. When the token copy of Cloud of Faeries enters, its ability triggers, untapping two lands.
6. Activate four lands by tapping them, adding 2.
7. Cast Shrieking Drake with offspring by paying , using cost reduction from Animar.
8. When Shrieking Drake enters, its own ability and its offspring ability trigger.
9. Resolve the Shrieking Drake ability, returning the nontoken Cloud of Faeries to its owner's hand.
10. Resolve the offspring ability, creating a token copy of Shrieking Drake.
11. When the token copy of Shrieking Drake enters, its ability triggers, returning the nontoken Shrieking Drake to its owner's hand.
12. Repeat.

This ingenious loop turns Zinnia, Valley's Voice into an engine for infinite value by granting every creature spell you cast the offspring ability. As you cast Cloud of Faeries and Shrieking Drake, Animar, Soul of Elements steadily accumulates +1/+1 counters to aggressively discount their costs until they become completely free to cast. The resulting cascade of entering and leaving the battlefield triggers the untap ability of Cloud of Faeries to generate infinite mana while Shrieking Drake bounces your creatures back to hand to keep the chain going endlessly.
