How it works

  1. Activate Mystic Sanctuary by tapping it, adding U mana.
  2. Cast Time Walk 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 Ardent Elementalist.
  4. When Ardent Elementalist and Mystic Sanctuary enter the battlefield, they trigger.
  5. Resolve the Ardent Elementalist trigger, returning Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Resolve the Mystic Sanctuary trigger, putting Time Walk from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  7. Move to your next turn, drawing Time Walk during your draw step.
  8. Repeat.

By looping Ghostly Flicker to simultaneously blink Ardent Elementalist and Mystic Sanctuary, this Vintage-legal setup achieves an unbreakable lock on the game through infinite turns. Every iteration relies on Ardent Elementalist to dig Ghostly Flicker back out of your graveyard, while Mystic Sanctuary exploits its own entering-untapped trigger to stack Time Walk right back on top of your library. Because you draw Time Walk during your newly granted extra turn, you can recast it endlessly, leaving your opponents frozen out of the game entirely.
