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 Donnie & April.
  4. When Donnie & April and Mystic Sanctuary enter the battlefield, they trigger.
  5. Resolve the Donnie & April 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 clever loop locks down the game by granting you infinite turns, entirely fueled by a single recursive spell package. You begin by casting Temporal Manipulation to buy yourself an extra turn, while Mystic Sanctuary and Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo sit ready on your board to orchestrate the loop. Whenever you cast Ghostly Flicker to blink both your land and your duo, Mystic Sanctuary's landfall ability places Temporal Manipulation right back on top of your library to be drawn, while Donnie & April, Adorkable Duo dives into your graveyard to fish Ghostly Flicker back to your hand.
