How it works

  1. Activate Mystic Sanctuary by tapping it, adding U mana.
  2. Cast Temporal Manipulation by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  3. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying 2U mana, blinking Mystic Sanctuary and Mnemonic Wall.
  4. When Mnemonic Wall and Mystic Sanctuary enter the battlefield, they trigger.
  5. Resolve the Mnemonic Wall trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Resolve the Mystic Sanctuary trigger, putting Temporal Manipulation from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  7. Move to your next turn, drawing Temporal Manipulation during your draw step.
  8. Repeat.

This elegant infinite turn loop revolves around recurring powerful spells using relentless blinking and land manipulation. You begin by casting Temporal Manipulation to claim an extra turn, while Mnemonic Wall sits ready to retrieve your spells from the graveyard the moment it enters the battlefield. Ghostly Flicker serves as the engine of the sequence, exiling both the Mnemonic Wall and Mystic Sanctuary so they return fresh to trigger their respective abilities. As they reappear, Mnemonic Wall grabs Ghostly Flicker back to your hand, and Mystic Sanctuary's static entry ability places Temporal Manipulation right back on top of your library to be drawn on your next turn, locking down the game in Commander, Legacy, Oathbreaker, and Vintage.
