How it works

  1. Play Selesnya Sanctuary. When it enters untapped due to Spelunking, Selesnya Sanctuary and Springheart Nantuko trigger.
  2. Holding priority, activate Selesnya Sanctuary by tapping it, adding G manaW mana.
  3. Resolve the Selesnya Sanctuary trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Springheart Nantuko trigger, causing you to pay 1G mana to create a token copy of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.
  5. Because of the additional Dryad of the Ilysian Grove token, you can play an additional land this turn.
  6. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the humble bounce-land Selesnya Sanctuary into an engine for infinite mana and token copies by leveraging the interaction between Spelunking and Springheart Nantuko. Because Spelunking ensures your lands enter untapped, dropping Selesnya Sanctuary lets you tap it for mana in response to its own bounce trigger, netting positive mana with the help of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove fixing your colors and allowing you to replay the land. Springheart Nantuko uses each new landfall trigger to feed you the necessary mana and create another token copy of Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, escalating your land-play capacity and token army infinitely.
