How it works

1. Cast Capture of Jingzhou by paying 3 and sacrificing a creaature with power 2 or greater, targeting yourself.
2. Capture of Jingzhou's casualty ability and Skywise Teachings trigger.
3. Resolve the Capture of Jingzhou trigger, copying it, targeting yourself.
4. Resolve the Skywise Teachings trigger, causing you to pay 1 to create a 2/2 Djinn Monk creature token.
5. Resolve both Capture of Jingzhous, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
6. Move to your first extra turn.
7. Cast Call to Mind by paying 2 and sacrificing a Djinn Monk, targeting Mystic Retrieval.
8. Call to Mind's casualty ability and Skywise Teachings trigger.
9. Resolve the Call to Mind trigger, copying it, targeting Capture of Jingzhou.
10. Resolve the Skywise Teachings trigger, causing you to pay 1 to create a 2/2 Djinn Monk creature token.
11. Resolve both Call to Minds, returning Capture of Jingzhou and Mystic Retrieval from your graveyard to your hand.
12. Move to your second extra turn.
13. Repeat steps 1 through 6 one additional time.
14. Cast Mystic Retrieval by paying 3 and sacrificing a Djinn Monk, targeting Call to Mind.
15. Mystic Retrieval's casualty ability and Skywise Teachings trigger.
16. Resolve the Mystic Retrieval trigger, copying it, targeting Capture of Jingzhou.
17. Resolve the Skywise Teachings trigger, creating a 2/2 Djinn Monk creature token.
18. Resolve both Mystic Retrievals, returning Capture of Jingzhou and Call to Mind from your graveyard to your hand.
19. Move to your second extra turn.
20. Repeat.

This clever extra-turn loop is brilliantly anchored by Anhelo, the Painter, whose casualty 2 ability doubles your crucial spells by sacrificing the very tokens you generate. While you chain together extra turns with Capture of Jingzhou, Skywise Teachings quietly hums in the background, converting your noncreature spellcasts into a steady supply of 2/2 Djinn Monk creature tokens to feed Anhelo, the Painter's sacrifice cost. To sustain this engine indefinitely, Call to Mind and Mystic Retrieval take turns pulling each other and your extra-turn spell out of the graveyard—with Mystic Retrieval even utilizing its flashback cost when needed—ensuring you never run out of ammunition as you dominate the game across infinite turns.
