Move to your next turn.
Cast Chthonian Nightmare by paying 1.
When Chthonian Nightmare enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to get EEE.

When Skullwinder enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Capture of Jingzhou from your graveyard to your hand.
Cast Chthonian Nightmare by paying 1.
When Chthonian Nightmare enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to get EEE.
Activate Chthonian Nightmare by paying at most EEE, sacrificing Skullwinder, and returning Chthonian Nightmare from the battlefield to your hand, returning a creature with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Repeat.
This recursive loop achieves infinite turns by recycling Capture of Jingzhou alongside a clever loop of death and rebirth. When you cast Chthonian Nightmare, its entry provides the energy needed to sacrifice Skullwinder and pull it right back out of the graveyard along with another creature of mana value 3 or less. Because Skullwinder’s enters-the-battlefield ability brings Capture of Jingzhou back to your hand every single time the cycle repeats, you can continually cast the extra turn spell and secure total victory.
