How it works

  1. Activate any number of lands you control by tapping them, adding at least 4U manaU manaU mana.
  2. Cast Turnabout by paying 2U manaU mana, untapping all lands you control.
  3. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying 2U mana, blinking Archaeomancer and Scrivener.
  4. When Archaeomancer and Scrivener enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Turnabout and Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Repeat.

This loop turns a modest investment of mana into an infinite engine by leveraging a classic recursive blink core. You kick things off by casting Turnabout to untap your lands, then cast Ghostly Flicker to exile Archaeomancer and Scrivener. As both creatures return to the battlefield, their entry triggers allow Archaeomancer to salvage Turnabout and Scrivener to reclaim Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard right back to your hand. Because Ghostly Flicker targets both creatures at once, the pair continuously resets your spells and your mana base, leaving you with endless mana, storm, and entering-the-battlefield triggers.
