Archaeomancer + Crystal Shard + Time Warp

Archaeomancer

Crystal Shard

Time Warp

How it works

1. Cast Time Warp by paying 3, taking an extra turn after this one.
2. Cast Archaeomancer by paying 2.
3. Archaeomancer enters the battlefield, returning Time Warp to your hand.
4. Activate Crystal Shard by paying and tapping it, returning Archaeomancer to your hand.
5. Move to your next turn.
6. Repeat.

This elegant loop bends time to your absolute will by chaining Archaeomancer's entrance ability—which plucks Time Warp right back from your graveyard—over and over again. To keep the engine running without burning through all your mana, Crystal Shard steps in to bounce the Archaeomancer safely to your hand for just a single blue mana, neatly bypassing any need to recast it from scratch. Once these three pieces are assembled, every single extra turn guarantees you the resources to replay your temporal magic, locking down the game under an endless succession of your own phases.
