  • Life // Death + Springheart Nantuko + Parallel Lives

    • Infinite creature tokens
    • Infinite tapped Forest tokens

    Mana needed: 155 decks on Commander Spellbook

    How it works

    Before you start

    You control a Forest that enters the battlefield untapped.

    Steps

    Animate a Forest that enters untapped using Life // Death Cast Springheart Nantuko for its bestow cost by paying {1}{G}, attaching it to the animated Forest. Play a land. When the land enters, Springheart Nantuko triggers, causing you to pay {1}{G} to create two token copies of the Forest that enters untapped. When the Forest tokens enter, Springheart Nantuko triggers twice. Holding priority, activate the Forest tokens by tapping them, adding {G}{G}. Resolve the first Springheart Nantuko trigger, choosing not to pay and creating two 1/1 Insect creature tokens. Resolve the second Springheart Nantuko trigger, causing you to pay {1}{G} to create two token copies of the Forest that enters untapped. Repeat from step 4.
