How it works
Cast Capture of Jingzhou by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
Cast Archaeomancer by paying its mana cost.
When Archaeomancer enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Capture of Jingzhou from your graveyard to your hand.
Move to your next turn.
Activate Dour Port-Mage by paying 1 and tapping it, returning Archaeomancer from the battlefield to your hand.
Dour Port-Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
Repeat.
This elegant loop sets up an inevitable, unanswerable advantage by turning a humble wizard into an engine for infinite time. You begin by casting Capture of Jingzhou to secure an extra turn, then follow up with Archaeomancer to immediately retrieve the sorcery from your graveyard. Instead of letting your resources run dry, Dour Port-Mage steps in with its activated ability to bounce the Archaeomancer right back to your hand—triggering its own passive card-draw ability in the process so you rake in extra cards while resetting the entire sequence.
