Aftermath Analyst + Shifting Woodland + Sylvan Safekeeper + Tireless Provisioner
Overview
Aftermath Analyst’s ETB mill can put lands into your graveyard, enabling Shifting Woodland’s Delirium; sacrificing Aftermath Analyst with its 
activated ability returns all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped (this is not a targeted effect), which will cause Tireless Provisioner to trigger once for each land that entered; Sylvan Safekeeper can sacrifice a land as the activation cost of its ability to give a creature shroud (sacrificing a land as a cost doesn’t target), and Shifting Woodland’s copy effect is an activated ability with a target and therefore is not a mana ability .
activated ability returns all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped (this is not a targeted effect), which will cause Tireless Provisioner to trigger once for each land that entered; Sylvan Safekeeper can sacrifice a land as the activation cost of its ability to give a creature shroud (sacrificing a land as a cost doesn’t target), and Shifting Woodland’s copy effect is an activated ability with a target and therefore is not a mana ability .Step 1
Aftermath Analyst enters the battlefield and its triggered ability 'When this creature enters, mill three cards.' resolves, putting the top three cards of your library into your graveyard.
Step 2
If those milled cards include land cards and/or other card types, you may now have four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, enabling Shifting Woodland’s Delirium activation if Shifting Woodland is on the battlefield (Delirium condition must be true when you activate) or allowing you to target a permanent card in your graveyard if you later activate it; Shifting Woodland’s copy ability, when activated, targets a permanent card so it is not a mana ability .
Step 3
You may activate Aftermath Analyst’s activated ability , Sacrifice this creature: Return all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Sacrificing the creature is part of paying the activation cost; when that activated ability resolves, all land cards in your graveyard are put onto the battlefield tapped as that ability doesn’t target.

Sacrificing the creature is part of paying the activation cost; when that activated ability resolves, all land cards in your graveyard are put onto the battlefield tapped as that ability doesn’t target.Step 4
Each land that enters the battlefield under your control that way causes Tireless Provisioner’s Landfall trigger to trigger; those triggered abilities are put on the stack (one per land) and can be responded to before they resolve .
Step 5
You may respond to those landfall triggers by taking actions while they are on the stack. For example, you may activate Sylvan Safekeeper’s ability, sacrificing a land as the cost to give target creature you control shroud until end of turn; paying that sacrifice cost removes the chosen land from the battlefield immediately as part of activation, but it does not retroactively stop the landfall triggers that were created when lands entered.
Step 6
If you activated Shifting Woodland’s Delirium ability (requires four or more card types in your graveyard) and it resolves, Shifting Woodland becomes a copy of the targeted permanent card in your graveyard until end of turn; continuous-effect layering applies to determine what characteristics it has and any previously applied effects/counters remain per the developer ruling [Ruling 2024-06-07].
Step 7
If Shifting Woodland becomes a copy of a nonland permanent, it will cease to have the intrinsic land abilities (for example, '
: Add ') unless some other continuous effect gives them back, and it may no longer count as a land for subsequent events; however effects that applied to it before copying continue to apply as noted above [Ruling 2024-06-07].
: Add ') unless some other continuous effect gives them back, and it may no longer count as a land for subsequent events; however effects that applied to it before copying continue to apply as noted above [Ruling 2024-06-07].Step 8
Each Tireless Provisioner landfall trigger resolves to create a Food or a Treasure token for each land that entered; note you cannot sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs at once per the ruling about Foods [Ruling 2024-11-08].
Resolution
When you activate Aftermath Analyst’s , Sacrifice this creature ability and it resolves, all land cards in your graveyard are returned to the battlefield tapped; each land entering that you control causes Tireless Provisioner’s landfall trigger to trigger (you get one trigger per land entered). You may respond to those triggers (they go on the stack) before they resolve. Sylvan Safekeeper’s ability requires you to sacrifice a land as a cost; you may sacrifice any land you control (including one that just entered) to pay that cost, and doing so does not cancel the landfall triggers that were created when the land entered. Shifting Woodland’s Delirium ability is an activated ability that targets a permanent card in your graveyard and is not a mana ability ; when it resolves it becomes a copy of the targeted permanent until end of turn, and continuous-effect interaction (including layer application and previously-applied effects/counters) follows the normal continuous-effects rules and the developer ruling that effects/counters that applied before it became a copy continue to apply [Ruling 2024-06-07].
