How it works

  1. Activate Mystic Sanctuary by tapping it, adding U mana.
  2. Cast Time Warp by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  3. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying 2U mana, blinking Mystic Sanctuary and Salvager of Secrets.
  4. When Salvager of Secrets and Mystic Sanctuary enter the battlefield, they trigger.
  5. Resolve the Salvager of Secrets trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Resolve the Mystic Sanctuary trigger, putting Time Warp from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  7. Move to your next turn, drawing Time Warp during your draw step.
  8. Repeat.

This infinite turn loop is a masterclass in recursion, turning a single extra turn spell into a permanent lock on the game. By casting Time Warp, you secure the extra time you need to set up your engine, while Ghostly Flicker acts as the mechanical heart of the sequence by repeatedly resetting your pieces. Every time Ghostly Flicker blinks your board, Salvager of Secrets dutifully returns that same instant to your hand, and the clever placement of Mystic Sanctuary ensures that Time Warp is placed right back on top of your library to be drawn on your next turn.
