How it works

  1. Play Arid Archway.
  2. Kodama of the East Tree, Sakashima the Impostor, and Arid Archway trigger.
  3. Resolve the Sakashima the Impostor trigger, choosing not to put anything from your hand onto the battlefield.
  4. Resolve the Arid Archway trigger, returning it to your hand.
  5. Resolve the Kodama of the East Tree trigger, putting Arid Archway onto the battlefield.
  6. Sakashima the Impostor and Arid Archway trigger.
  7. Resolve the Arid Archway trigger, returning it to your hand.
  8. Resolve the Sakashima the Impostor token's trigger, putting Arid Archway onto the battlefield.
  9. Kodama of the East Tree and Arid Archway trigger.
  10. Repeat from step 5.

This elegant loop turns a simple land drop into an endless cascade of triggers by exploiting the overlapping triggers of Kodama of the East Tree and a clone. When you play Arid Archway, its entry triggers its own bounce ability while simultaneously prompting Kodama of the East Tree and Sakashima the Impostor (mimicking the Kodama) to put another permanent from your hand onto the battlefield. By bouncing the very land you just played and redepositing it via the triggered abilities of your spirit and your copied Sakashima the Impostor, you create a self-sustaining loop that generates infinite landfall triggers without ever needing to tap a mana source.
