How it works

  1. Cast Living Lore from your hand or graveyard by paying 3U mana.
  2. Living Lore enters the battlefield, exiling Temporal Manipulation from your graveyard.
  3. Move to your combat phase, and deal combat damage with Living Lore.
  4. Living Lore triggers, causing you to sacrifice it and cast Temporal Manipulation from exile without paying its mana cost.
  5. Resolve Temporal Manipulation, taking an extra turn after this one.
  6. Repeat each turn.

This mesmerizing loop lets you chain infinite extra turns by recycling Living Lore through the graveyard over and over again. You start by using Living Lore's enters-the-battlefield trigger to imprint Temporal Manipulation, turning the creature's power and toughness into a massive threat fueled by that spell's mana value. Once it deals combat damage, you sacrifice Living Lore to cast Temporal Manipulation for free, giving you the extra turn you need to cast Living Lore right back out of your graveyard using Karador, Ghost Chieftain's once-per-turn creature-casting permission. Meanwhile, Concordant Crossroads ensures that Living Lore doesn't have to wait around with summoning sickness, granting haste so it can immediately charge into combat and repeat the entire cycle on your next turn.
