How it works

  1. Activate The Tenth Doctor by paying 7, causing you to time travel three times, removing all time counters from each Chronozoa you control.
  2. Each Chronozoa triggers.
  3. Resolve the first trigger, causing you to sacrifice the triggered Chronozoa.
  4. When Chronozoa dies, it triggers, creating two token copies of itself that each enter with three time counters.
  5. When the Chronozoa tokens enter the battlefield, they trigger, adding CC for each Illusion you control.
  6. Repeat from step 3 for each remaining trigger, if applicable.
  7. Repeat from step 1.

This clever loop starts by using The Tenth Doctor's hefty Timey-Wimey ability to instantly strip away all three time counters from Chronozoa, bypassing its vanishing mechanic and forcing it to die with zero counters left. That death triggers Chronozoa to birth two brand-new token copies of itself, each neatly equipped with their own vanishing counters. Meanwhile, Mana Echoes sits quietly on the board turning every single one of those arriving Illusion tokens into a massive burst of colorless mana based on how many creatures share that type. With an endless supply of colorless mana generated by the entry of those fresh tokens, you can simply pay The Tenth Doctor's activation cost again to repeat the entire cycle for explosive results.
