How it works

  1. Cast Temporal Manipulation by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Activate Dust Bowl by paying 3, tapping it and sacrificing Mystic Sanctuary, destroying a nonbasic land.
  3. Play Mystic Sanctuary from your graveyard.
  4. When Mystic Sanctuary enters untapped, it triggers, putting Temporal Manipulation from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  5. Move to your next turn, drawing Temporal Manipulation during your draw step.
  6. Repeat.

By leveraging Szarel, Genesis Shepherd to bypass normal restrictions, Dust Bowl can repeatedly sacrifice Mystic Sanctuary to clear away opponent lands while triggering Szarel's growth ability. Because Mystic Sanctuary enters untapped under the right conditions, its triggered ability puts Temporal Manipulation right back on top of your library to be drawn on your next turn. This loop creates a near-infinite turns lock, letting you take every turn consecutively until the game is won.
