Chthonian Nightmare + Temporal Manipulation + Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak

Chthonian Nightmare

Temporal Manipulation

Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak

How it works

1. Cast Temporal Manipulation by paying 3, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
2. Move to your next turn.
3. Cast Chthonian Nightmare by paying 1.
4. When Chthonian Nightmare enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to get EEE.
5. Activate Chthonian Nightmare by paying EEEEE, sacrificing a creature with mana value 1 or less, and returning Chthonian Nightmare from the battlefield to your hand, returning Pinnacle Monk from your graveyard to the battlefield.
6. When Pinnacle Monk enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Temporal Manipulation from your graveyard to your hand.
7. Cast Chthonian Nightmare by paying 1.
8. When Chthonian Nightmare enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to get EEE.
9. Activate Chthonian Nightmare by paying at most E, sacrificing Pinnacle Monk, and returning Chthonian Nightmare from the battlefield to your hand, returning a creature with mana value 1 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield.
10. Repeat.

This ingenious loop revolves around an endlessly repeating sequence of recursion and extra turns, letting you take control of the game indefinitely. By using the energy generated when Chthonian Nightmare enters the battlefield, you can repeatedly sacrifice and recur Pinnacle Monk to continuously fish Temporal Manipulation back out of your graveyard. Every iteration of this engine lets you replay the extra turn spell while churning through your resources, locking the opponent out of ever taking another action.
