Zinnia, Valley's Voice + Cloud of Faeries + Shrieking Drake + Temur Battlecrier

Zinnia, Valley's Voice

Cloud of Faeries

Shrieking Drake

Temur Battlecrier

How it works

1. Cast Cloud of Faeries with offspring by paying 1 using the cost reduction from Temur Battlecrier.
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 Temur Battlecrier.
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 elegant loop centers around Zinnia, Valley's Voice, which generously grants offspring to every creature spell you cast and passively pumps herself based on your wide board of base-power-1 creatures. Cloud of Faeries and Shrieking Drake cycle back and forth to hand while generating a growing army of token copies, with Cloud of Faeries continually untapping your lands to keep the mana flowing. Meanwhile, Temur Battlecrier lurks as a crucial enabler, reducing your casting costs to make the loop net positive in mana.
