Lotus Cobra + Lumra, Bellow of the Woods + Springheart Nantuko + Zuran Orb

Overview
When Lumra, Bellow of the Woods enters and returns lands from your graveyard to the battlefield, each land that enters will trigger landfall abilities (Lotus Cobra and Springheart Nantuko) separately; you put those triggers on the stack in any order you choose [Ruling 2024-11-08]. Lotus Cobra’s landfall triggers are normal triggered abilities (not mana abilities) and go on the stack — they produce mana only when their triggers resolve [2020-09-25]. Springheart’s landfall is a triggered ability that gives you the option to pay {1}{G} as the ability resolves if the Springheart permanent is attached to a creature you control; that payment is an optional cost checked/paid during resolution per rule text about optional costs and payments . Lands returned by Lumra are “put onto the battlefield,” not “played,” but they still cause landfall triggers when they enter the battlefield and [Ruling 2024-11-08]. Sacrificing lands with Zuran Orb removes lands from the battlefield immediately as part of paying its activation cost, which can change Lumra’s power/toughness (Lumra’s P/T tracks number of lands you control [2024-07-26]) and possibly cause state-based actions such as Lumra dying if its toughness becomes 0 or less .
Step 1
Lumra enters the battlefield and its ETB ability resolves: mill four, then return all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped. Those lands are put onto the battlefield (not played) and each entering land causes landfall triggers [Ruling 2024-11-08].
Step 2
For each land that entered, you get one Lotus Cobra trigger and one Springheart Nantuko trigger (and any other landfall triggers you control). You choose the order to put those triggers on the stack [Ruling 2024-11-08].
Step 3
Lotus Cobra triggers are normal triggered abilities that use the stack and are not mana abilities; when each Lotus Cobra trigger resolves it will add one mana of any color to your mana pool [2020-09-25].
Step 4
Springheart’s landfall trigger will resolve later (depending on your chosen ordering). When a Springheart trigger resolves you may pay {1}{G} if Springheart is attached to a creature you control; that payment is an optional cost paid during resolution per rule text about optional costs . If you pay, create a token that’s a copy of the creature Springheart is attached to; if you don’t create such a token (for whatever reason), create a 1/1 green Insect token instead.
Step 5
You may respond to any landfall trigger (before it resolves) — for example by activating Zuran Orb’s activated ability and sacrificing a land as part of its activation. Sacrificing the land removes that land from the battlefield immediately as part of paying Zuran Orb’s activation cost; that will reduce the number of lands you control and immediately affect continuous effects that depend on number of lands (for example Lumra’s P/T) [2024-07-26] and may cause state-based actions like putting a creature with 0 toughness into its owner’s graveyard .
Step 6
Because Lotus Cobra triggers put mana into your pool only when they resolve, you can (and often should) order a Lotus Cobra trigger to resolve before the matching Springheart trigger so you can use that mana to pay Springheart’s {1}{G} cost if you want the copy token [2020-09-25] and .
Resolution
When Lumra’s ETB effect returns multiple lands to the battlefield tapped, you will get one Lotus Cobra trigger and one Springheart Nantuko trigger for each land that enters; you may put those triggers on the stack in any order you choose [Ruling 2024-11-08]. Lotus Cobra triggers are not mana abilities and will go on the stack; they produce mana when they resolve, and you can use that mana to pay Springheart’s {1}{G} cost if you order Lotus Cobra’s triggers to resolve before the relevant Springheart trigger [2020-09-25]. If you respond to a trigger by activating Zuran Orb and sacrifice lands, the sacrificed land immediately leaves the battlefield (paid as part of the activation); that will reduce the number of lands you control and therefore can reduce Lumra’s power/toughness (Lumra’s P/T is equal to lands you control) [2024-07-26]. If Lumra’s toughness becomes 0 or less as a result, it is put into its owner’s graveyard by state-based actions , which can change whether a Springheart attached to Lumra is “attached to a creature you control” when a Springheart trigger resolves (bestow Auras that become unattached become creatures — see ruling) [2024-06-07].
