The Tenth Doctor + Mana Echoes + Reality Strobe + The Lost and the Damned

The Tenth Doctor

Mana Echoes

Reality Strobe

The Lost and the Damned

How it works

1. Activate The Tenth Doctor by paying 7, removing all time counters from Reality Strobe.
2. Reality Strobe triggers, causing you to cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.
3. The Lost and the Damned triggers, creating a creature token.
4. When the creature token enters, Mana Echoes triggers, adding C for each creature you control that shares a creature type with the token.
5. Resolve Reality Strobe.
6. Repeat.

This brilliant engine relies on accelerating suspended spells to instantly bounce and replay them, locking down your opponents while generating overwhelming value. By activating The Tenth Doctor's time travel ability, you rapidly strip the three time counters off an exiled Reality Strobe, forcing it to be cast from exile for free. Because you are casting a spell from outside your hand, The Lost and the Damned steps in to reward you with a 3/3 red Spawn creature token, which in turn causes Mana Echoes to flood your pool with colorless mana thanks to the scaling creature types. You can then use that generated mana to pump back into The Tenth Doctor's ability, endlessly looping Reality Strobe to bounce every opposing permanent while churning out an infinite army of tokens.
