Verdant Succession + Lifeline  + Life and Limb, does this allow me to pull out my lands all at once?  Given the chance that the first one dies at all.  Lol

Verdant Succession
Lifeline
Life and Limb

I don't see why that doesn't work, as long as all your lands are Forest s.  (Please note that I mean Forest forests, not non-basic forests.)

With a sac engine, yes.

A forest Saproling dies, it triggers Succession and Lifeline.
The Succesion will find another land of the same name (likely forest) and put one on the field.
You can repeat by saccing that forest to your sac engine.
During your end step, the forests will all be returned to the field as long as you still have another creature on the field.

Wit found in Rules Q&A

RPJesus: "Man, screw the rules, I'll play a game of 2HG Archenemy Planechase Emperor EDH draft yet. Once I figure out the rules for it..."
Chaikov: "Of course, casual Magic may be played any way your Pokemon group agrees on..." and "It's not logic. It's Magic!"
GainsBanding: "I only play online.  The Magic Online shuffler is AWESOME!"
Ikegami: "one might think [adult cats] would make excellent tokens. The issue, though, is that they are very hard to exile. They return to the battlefield more often than an undying creature."
Astarael7: "Does 121.1 imply that players are supposed to wear their poison counters?"
Bimmerbot: "If you move the wrong way and [the poison counters] fall, it's a game rule violation"
Helluminatus: "Just remember, if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, and quacks like a duck, but the oracle text says creature - Bunny , then by god, it's a bunny."
MadCow21: "Who are you and what have you done with the real Chaikov?"

All? No. That would only get you one.

  1. Kill a Forest. Verdant Succession and Lifeline both trigger, and you place them both on the stack.
  2. Lifeline's triggered ability resolves. The dead Forest will return the battlefield later.
  3. Verdant Sucession's triggered ability resolves. You can dig out a Forest from your deck and place it on the battlefield.


You'd need some way to kill to be able to repeat step #1, but that's not hard to do as often as you want for free: Thallid Germinator (among many others)


(You could place the abilities on the stack in the other order if you wanted. It doesn't change anything.)

With Verdant Succession and Life and Limb, for every land with the type Forest that dies, you can get one with the same name in your deck and put it on the battlefield. Adding Lifeline to the mix makes it so that each of those lands that dies comes back at the beginning of the end step.

Now, you'd need to add a way to sacrifice a land at whim, such as Spawning Pit or Zuran Orb , to get all your lands in the same turn, otherwise you won't be able to create a chain.
