How it works
If you have more than three cards in hand, activate Mind Over Matter by discarding a card.
Repeat step 1 until you have three or fewer cards in hand.
At the beginning of your end step, Doctor Octopus triggers, causing you to draw at least five cards.
Lyla triggers for each card drawn, putting that many +1/+1 counters on Sage of Hours.
Activate Sage of Hours by removing all +1/+1 counters from it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
Repeat each turn.
This fascinating synergy harnesses the relentless card-filtering power of Mind Over Matter to empty your grip, setting the stage for Doctor Octopus, Master Planner to refill your hand to its maximum size of eight during your end step. As those cards flood into your hand, Lyla, Holographic Assistant dutifully turns every single draw into fuel by stacking +1/+1 counters onto Sage of Hours. Once the counter count hits the threshold, you simply cash them in to take endless extra turns, looping through your combat phases and end steps while Doctor Octopus, Master Planner also pumps your other Villains with a static +2/+2 bonus.
