How it works

  1. Activate up to seven lands by tapping them, adding at least 2U mana.
  2. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying 2U mana, blinking Salvager of Secrets and Palinchron.
  3. When Salvager of Secrets and Palinchron enter the battlefield, their abilities trigger.
  4. Resolve the Salvager of Secrets trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker to your hand from your graveyard.
  5. Resolve the Palinchron trigger, untapping up to seven lands.
  6. Repeat.
  7. If you control seven lands that can tap to produce at least 3U mana, this combo nets infinite mana, and you may blink any other permanent besides Palinchron.

This elegant engine transforms a modest investment of mana into boundless magical energy by cycling through the same two spells and creatures over and over. You begin by casting Ghostly Flicker to exile both Palinchron and Salvager of Secrets, and as they return to the battlefield, their entry triggers go to work: Palinchron untaps your lands to replenish your mana supply, while Salvager of Secrets reaches into your graveyard to retrieve the very same Ghostly Flicker you just cast. Because Palinchron's own bounce ability allows it to return to your hand if needed, pairing it with Salvager of Secrets and Ghostly Flicker creates a closed loop that generates infinite mana, endless enter-the-battlefield triggers, and an unbounded storm count as long as your lands can produce the required blue mana.
