1. Titan + 2 amulets, no other resources (flagship 20-step)
Setup: You're resolving Primeval Titan with two Amulet of Vigor already in play and nothing else (no spare mana). The flagship 20-step Aftermath Analyst + Zuran Orb loop that goes infinite from just Titan + 2 Amulets.

2. Titan + 2 amulets, 4 floating (Pre-Combat Win)
Setup: Primeval Titan resolving, two Amulet of Vigor in play, plus 4 spare (floating) mana. Those 4 extra mana let you assemble the loop and win in your FIRST main phase - no attack step needed.
You start with: 4 floating faded = in hand

1. Activate Shifting Woodland targeting Aftermath Analyst (8 floating)
2. HOLD PRIORITY; activate Shifting Woodland targeting Zuran Orb (4 floating)
3. Let the Woodland activation targeting Zuran Orb resolve. Woodland is now a copy of Zuran Orb. Sac all other lands.
4. Let the Woodland activation targeting Analyst resolve. Activate Analyst (0 floating)
5. All your lands come back; repeat.
3. Scapeshift + 1 amulet, 5 lands (Zuran Orb OR Safekeeper)
Setup: You're casting Scapeshift with one Amulet of Vigor in play and exactly 5 lands in play for Scapeshift to sacrifice, AND a free sacrifice outlet ready: Zuran Orb (in hand or in play) OR Sylvan Safekeeper in play. Scapeshift swaps your 5 lands for a fresh set; the sac outlet powers the Aftermath Analyst loop into Titan.
You start with: 5 lands faded = in hand
1
Cast Scapeshift, sacrificing all 5 lands.
2
Find TWest + Simic Growth Chamber + 3 Vestige/Bounce. Tap all, bounce TWest.

8
Loop.
No specific cards in this step.
Notes if going for the Safekeeper line
Step 2: Safekeeper targets itself on the stack to sacrifice all the lands.
Step 5: target another creature for sacrificing, as Safekeeper now has shroud. Not a problem if there's an Arboreal Grazer / Saga Construct on board to target, or if you had 6 lands and one is a Dryad Arbor.
Step 6/7: tap for mana and activate Woodland to reanimate Analyst first. Then use Safekeeper to target Woodland-Analyst and sacrifice all lands. Then use Woodland-Analyst ability to bring back the lands.
After step 7: when lands return, you need Delirium again to activate Woodland. Target Primeval Titan with Safekeeper, then ON THE STACK activate Woodland into Analyst, get infinite mana, keep targeting Titan to sac all lands each time, until done. Then TWest for a cycling land so you always have Delirium from the land type, letting you activate Woodland-Analyst further and target it with Safekeeper.
4. Scapeshift + 1 amulet, 6 lands — 2 extra mana, getting Mycosynth
Setup: Casting Scapeshift with one Amulet of Vigor in play, 6 lands to sacrifice, and 2 spare (floating) mana left after Scapeshift resolves. With only one Amulet, this line fetches The Mycosynth Gardens and copies the Amulet to get a 2nd Amulet effect, then loops.

9. Frankesho — Scapeshift + 1 amulet, Mycosynth + 3 lands, Zuran + Pact/Analyst
Setup: Casting Scapeshift with one Amulet of Vigor in play and 4 lands to sacrifice (one of them The Mycosynth Gardens), plus Zuran Orb (in hand or play) and a Summoner's Pact OR Aftermath Analyst already in hand. Mycosynth copies your Amulet for a 2nd effect; Zuran + the in-hand Pact/Analyst let you loop with fewer fetched pieces.

9
Shifting Woodland becomes Analyst. Activate the copied Analyst. Loop.
If you have a Titan in your opening hand instead of a Mycosynth, you can search for a Mycosynth with Scapeshift instead of TWest. The line should work the same.
10. Scapeshift + 1 amulet, 6 lands — 2 extra mana, Cephalid Coliseum [NOT IN DECK: needs Cephalid Coliseum]
Setup: Casting Scapeshift with one Amulet of Vigor in play, 6 lands to sacrifice, and 2 spare (floating) mana. Instead of Mycosynth, this version uses Cephalid Coliseum to draw 3 and discard extra bouncelands, then recurs them with Aftermath Analyst to fuel the loop.

7
Analyst returns the original 6 lands, TWest, Cephalid Coliseum, and the 2 discarded bouncelands. Tap everything, bounce TWest and any other land.
8
From here, either Transmute TWest for Zuran Orb, or for Pact -> Safekeeper. You have enough mana for either.
9
Cast whichever sac outlet you got. You have either 9 or 8 mana remaining. Loop.
No specific cards in this step.
11. Kavaron — Titan + 2 amulets, Spelunking-proof (Analyst) [NOT IN DECK: needs Kavaron + 2nd Echoing Deeps]
Setup: Titan resolving with 2 Amulet effects, Spelunking in play, and at least one other land already in play. Needs 2x Echoing Deeps + Kavaron, Memorial World. Gets haste through Kavaron instead of Hanweir, so Spelunking can't break it.
1
Resolve Titan. ETB search Mirrorpool and a bounceland. Float all the mana, then activate Mirrorpool targeting Titan to copy it.
2
Copy-Titan trigger: search Echoing Deeps and a bounceland. Echoing Deeps copies Mirrorpool. Float all mana, copy Primeval Titan again.
3
Next trigger: search a 2nd Echoing Deeps and a bounceland. It copies Mirrorpool. Float all mana, copy Primeval Titan a third time.
4
Next Titan trigger: search Crumbling Vestige and Kavaron, Memorial World. Float the mana from Vestige; tap Vestige and Kavaron once each, leaving both untapped.
5
You now have three bounceland bounce triggers. Two pick up bouncelands; keep one bounceland in play to sacrifice to Kavaron. The third trigger picks up whatever land you started the turn with. Hold and resolve them carefully.
6
Station Kavaron with two of your Titans (their power gives 12+ charge counters), switching on its ability.
7
Activate Kavaron, sacrificing the bounceland, to make a 2/2 Robot and give all your creatures +1/+0 and haste. Two Titans are untapped and ready to attack.
8
1st Titan attack trigger: get Otawara and Mycosynth Gardens (both enter untapped via Spelunking, which is fine). Use both to copy Amulet of Vigor.
9
2nd Titan attack trigger: get a bounceland and Urza's Cave. Cave enters untapped; let the Simic Growth Chamber enter tapped. Float twice off Simic Growth Chamber leaving it untapped, bounce Otawara, then channel Otawara on your real Primeval Titan to return it to hand.
10
Crumbling Vestige and Simic Growth Chamber are untapped, exactly enough to activate Urza's Cave in your 2nd main phase. Grab a bounceland.
11
Enter tapped, float all mana, bounce a land, cast Primeval Titan.
12
Titan ETB: search Tolaria West and a bounceland. Float, pick up Twest, transmute for Pact, Pact for Aftermath Analyst, cast and activate Analyst.
13
Echoing Deeps in the graveyard return as copies of Urza's Cave. Float all mana, leave lands untapped, return Twest with the bounce trigger. Copy Titan with Mirrorpool.
14
Titan trigger: any two mana lands, e.g. Vesuva copying Crumbling Vestige and a bounceland. Float, pick up an Otawara to the bounce land, then activate Urza's Cave for Shifting Woodland.
15
Guarantee delirium: activate Urza's Cave for Urza's Saga, float, transmute Twest for Zuran Orb, cast Zuran Orb, then sacrifice Urza's Saga to Zuran Orb (enchantment type to grave).
16
Aftermath Analyst loop: copy Analyst with Shifting Woodland, float all mana, sacrifice all lands to Zuran Orb, activate Analyst to return all lands. Loop for infinite mana, then attack with the hasty Titans. Loop.
Variant — if Zuran Orb got milled by Analyst
Activate Shifting Woodland targeting Aftermath Analyst, HOLD PRIORITY, then activate Shifting Woodland again targeting Zuran Orb. While the 2nd Woodland is a Zuran Orb, sac all lands after floating, then let it become Analyst and sac it to bring the lands back.
12. Kavaron — non-Analyst combat kill (Oran-Rief) [NOT IN DECK: needs Kavaron + Oran-Rief]
Setup: Same Spelunking-proof opener but no Aftermath Analyst. Requires one extra land: Oran-Rief, the Vastwood. Kills with combat damage.
1
Resolve Titan, copy with Mirrorpool; get Echoing Deeps, copy Titan; get a 2nd Echoing Deeps, copy Titan a third time.
2
4th Titan ETB: get Kavaron, Memorial World and Crumbling Vestige. Station Kavaron and haste all creatures as before.
3
You now have two 7/6 hasty Titans and a 3/2 Robot = 17 damage (plus a Grazer if present).
4
Oran-Rief, the Vastwood: put +1/+1 counters on each green creature that entered this turn (do it twice by copying Oran-Rief with Vesuva — Amulet does not double tap abilities). Titans become 9 power each = 18 + 3 token = 21.
5
If they have a blocker, search Vesuva to copy Oran-Rief again for even more power.
Oran-Rief has no mana ability; the 'twice' comes from Oran-Rief plus a Vesuva copy, not from Amulet of Vigor.
