Abundance + Cultivator Colossus

Overview
When Cultivator Colossus’s entering-the-battlefield triggered ability resolves, each time that ability would make you draw a card Abundance’s replacement effect can be applied to that draw to instead reveal cards until you find a land (if you chose “land”) and put that land into your hand. Because Colossus’s ability then lets you put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and repeat the process, using Abundance to fetch lands effectively seeds the loop and can let you put multiple lands onto the battlefield during that single triggered ability resolution. Triggers caused by those lands entering won’t be put on the stack until after the Colossus ability finishes resolving [Ruling 2021-11-19], and nothing that triggers on a draw will trigger for draws replaced by Abundance [Ruling 2004-10-04].
Step 1
Cultivator Colossus enters the battlefield and its triggered ability goes on the stack; when that triggered ability resolves, you may put a land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped. If you do, you are instructed to draw a card as part of the ability .
Step 2
When the ability would make you draw a card, Abundance’s replacement effect can be applied to that draw. Abundance lets you choose "land" or "nonland" and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind, then put that card into your hand instead of drawing normally.
Step 3
If you chose "land" with Abundance, you reveal cards until you find a land and put that land into your hand; the Colossus ability then continues by letting you put a land from your hand onto the battlefield tapped (this can be the land you just put into your hand) and then repeats the process.
Step 4
You repeat the loop during the single resolution of the triggered ability: each repetition you decide whether to put a land from your hand onto the battlefield tapped; if you do, you then draw a card which can again be replaced by Abundance, and so on [Ruling 2021-11-19].
Step 5
Any triggered abilities caused by those lands entering the battlefield are not put on the stack until after the Colossus ability has completely finished resolving [Ruling 2021-11-19].
Resolution
When Cultivator Colossus’s ETB triggered ability resolves, every time that ability would make you draw a card , you may apply Abundance’s replacement effect instead. If you choose “land” with Abundance, you reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a land and put that land into your hand; then the Colossus ability can put a land from your hand onto the battlefield tapped and repeat. You can continue this loop as long as you choose to put a land from your hand onto the battlefield each repetition and Abundance (or the cards in hand/deck) supply what you need. Any triggered abilities caused by lands entering won’t be put on the stack until after the Colossus ability finishes resolving [Ruling 2021-11-19]. Because Abundance replaces the draw, effects that trigger “when you draw a card” don’t trigger for draws replaced by Abundance [Ruling 2004-10-04].
