    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.

    Mana needed: 178 decks on Commander Spellbook

    How it works

    Before you start

    You control a Plains or have a Plains in your graveyard. You do not have any static effects boosting your creatures' toughness.

    Steps

    Cast Lumra by paying {4}{G}{G}. When Lumra enters, it triggers. Holding priority, activate Squandered Resources by sacrificing a land. Repeat step 3 until you control no lands. When you sacrifice the last land, Lumra will die as a state-based action due to having 0 toughness. Resolve the Lumra trigger from step 2, causing you to mill four cards and return all lands from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. When the lands enter, Emeria Shepherd triggers that many times. Resolve an Emeria Shepherd trigger that was triggered by a Plains, returning Lumra from your graveyard to the battlefield. Repeat from step 2.
