Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Steps
Cast Natural Affinity by paying {2}{G}, causing all lands to become 2/2 creatures in addition to their other types. Cast Darkness Descends by paying {2}{B}{B}, putting two -1/-1 counters on each creature. Each land dies as a state-based action due to having 0 toughness, as well as each creature that had toughness 2 or less. Necroskitter triggers for each creature and land your opponents controlled that died, returning them from their graveyards onto the battlefield under your control.
