Kess, Dissident Mage

Walk the Aeons

Crucible of Worlds

Ghirapur Orrery

How it works

1. Cast Walk the Aeons either from your hand or from your graveyard with buyback by paying 4 and sacrificing three Islands, causing you to take an extra turn after this one and returning Walk the Aeons to your hand.
2. Play an Island from your graveyard.
3. Move to your next turn.
4. Cast Walk the Aeons by paying 4, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
5. Play two Islands from your graveyard.
6. Move to your next turn.
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop allows you to bend time to your will by continuously chaining extra turns with Walk the Aeons. Kess, Dissident Mage provides the crucial flexibility to recast the spell from your graveyard, while Crucible of Worlds ensures your land base is entirely resilient by letting you replay those sacrificed Islands. Meanwhile, Ghirapur Orrery pulls double duty: its static ability grants you the extra land drops necessary to feed the buyback cost every single turn, and its upkeep trigger acts as a safety valve to refill your hand with three cards if you ever run completely dry.
