How it works

  1. If you have more than three cards in hand, activate Psychic Frog by discarding a card.
  2. Repeat step 1 until you have three or fewer cards in hand.
  3. At the beginning of your end step, Doctor Octopus triggers, causing you to draw at least five cards.
  4. Lyla triggers for each card drawn, putting that many +1/+1 counters on Sage of Hours.
  5. Activate Sage of Hours by removing all +1/+1 counters from it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  6. Repeat each turn.

This intricate loop turns your end step into an endless sequence of extra turns by cycling through your hand and growing your board. Doctor Octopus, Master Planner protects your resources with an expanded hand size while ensuring you automatically refill your grip at the end step, setting up the card draw needed to trigger Lyla, Holographic Assistant. Lyla then converts that sudden influx of drawn cards into a massive pile of +1/+1 counters to fuel Sage of Hours, whose ability cashes them in for infinite extra turns. Meanwhile, Psychic Frog acts as an efficient engine piece to trim your hand down beforehand via its discard ability while also threatening damage and card draw of its own.
