Patron of the Moon + Selesnya Sanctuary + Lotus Cobra

Patron of the Moon

Selesnya Sanctuary

Lotus Cobra

How it works

1. Activate Patron of the Moon by paying 1, putting Selesnya Sanctuary from your hand onto the battlefield tapped.
2. When Selesnya Sanctuary enters the battlefield, it and Lotus Cobra trigger.
3. Resolve the Selesnya Sanctuary trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
4. Resolve the Lotus Cobra trigger, adding 1.
5. Repeat.

This clever engine transforms a simple bounce land into a perpetual motion machine by leaning heavily on Patron of the Moon's ability to cheat lands directly onto the battlefield. Selesnya Sanctuary acts as the fuel and the return vehicle all in once, entering the battlefield only to trigger its own self-bounce and immediately return to your hand for the next iteration. Meanwhile, Lotus Cobra watches the whole loop unfold, turning every single drop of that land-based activity into a steady stream of any-color mana to keep the activation costs fully covered.
