Aftermath Analyst + Shifting Woodland + Squandered Resources
- Infinite mana lands you control can produce
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
There are at least four card types among cards in your graveyard. You control at least eight other mana-producing lands, three of which can tap to produce at least {G}.
Steps
Activate Squandered Resources by sacrificing any land except Shifting Woodland, adding {G} if possible, or one mana of any other type otherwise. Repeat step 1 until you control no other mana-producing lands except Shifting Woodland. Activate Shifting Woodland's second ability by paying {2}{G}{G}, causing it to become a copy of Aftermath Analyst until end of turn. Activate Shifting Woodland by paying {3}{G} and sacrificing it, returning it and all other land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Repeat. If you control nine or more other mana-producing lands, this combo will net infinite mana of colors those lands can produce.
