Before you start
You control a nontoken Saproling and/or creature with changeling.
Steps
Activate Mycologist's second ability by sacrificing a nontoken Saproling or creature with changeling. When the creature dies, Yedora triggers, returning the creature from your graveyard to the battlefield face down as a Forest land and as a 1/1 Saproling due to Life and Limb. Resolve the Mycologist ability, causing you to gain 2 life. Repeat.
Mycologist + Vorel of the Hull Clade + Intruder Alarm
- Infinite creature tokens
- Infinite lifegain
- Infinite lifegain triggers
- Infinite mana creatures you control can produce
- Infinite proliferate for artifacts, creatures, and lands
- Infinite untap of creatures
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Mycologist has at least three spore counters on it. Vorel of the Hull Clade does not have summoning sickness. Creatures you control can tap to produce at least {G}{U}.
Steps
Activate all mana-producing creatures you control by tapping them, adding at least {G}{U}. Activate Vorel of the Hull Clade by paying {G}{U} and tapping it, doubling the number of counters on Mycologist. Activate Mycologist's first ability by removing three spore counters from it, creating a 1/1 Saproling creature token. When the Saproling enters the battlefield, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures. Repeat. If creatures you control can tap to produce at least {1}{G}{U}, this combo nets infinite mana and you may target any creature using Vorel of the Hull Clade. This combo also nets infinite spore counters on Mycologist if it has four or more spore counters to start the combo, and you may also optionally sacrifice the Saproling tokens to Mycologist's ability.
