How it works

  1. Cast Time Warp by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Cast Ardent Elementalist by paying its mana cost.
  3. When Ardent Elementalist enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Time Warp from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Move to your next turn.
  5. Activate Dour Port-Mage by paying 1U mana and tapping it, returning Ardent Elementalist from the battlefield to your hand.
  6. Dour Port-Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  7. Repeat.

This brilliant loop centers on recurring Time Warp to take infinite turns, with Ardent Elementalist acting as the essential bridge by digging the spell back out of your graveyard the moment it enters the battlefield. While bouncing the Elementalist back to your hand each cycle could otherwise slow you down, Dour Port-Mage steps in to turn that necessary logistical step into pure card advantage, drawing you a card every time a creature leaves the battlefield without dying. Furthermore, that same Dour Port-Mage features an active tap ability that conveniently handles the heavy lifting of returning Ardent Elementalist to your hand, tying the entire engine together into an unstoppable sequence of extra turns.
