How it works
Cast Final Fortune by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one and to lose the game at the beginning of that turn's end step.
Activate Magar by paying 1, noting Final Fortune and putting it face down on the battlefield as a 3/3 creature.
Activate Magar by paying 1, noting Glorious End and putting it face down on the battlefield as a 3/3 creature.
During your next turn, deal combat damage to an opponent using the face down creatures that have Final Fortune and Glorious End noted. The creatures trigger.
Resolve the first trigger, casting a copy of Final Fortune without paying its mana cost. Resolve the copy, causing you to take an extra turn after this one and to lose the game at the beginning of that turn's end step.
Resolve the second trigger, casting a copy of Glorious End without paying its mana cost. Resolve the copy, causing you to end the turn. This will prevent the Final Fortune trigger from causing you to lose the game.
Repeat from step 3.
This cunning loop transforms your graveyard into a perpetual engine of extra time, completely circumventing the usual fatal drawbacks of your spells. By using Magar of the Magic Strings to animate Final Fortune and Glorious End as 3/3 creatures, you set up a pair of devastating combat triggers that cast these powerful instants for free whenever they deal combat damage. When you connect with the Final Fortune creature, you safely secure another turn, but the impending game loss is immediately neutralized by resolving a copy of Glorious End cast from the second creature to abruptly end the turn. This clever trick skips your end step entirely, letting you endlessly chain extra turns without ever having to pay the ultimate price.
