How it works
Activate Kaya the Inexorable's first ability by putting a loyalty counter on it, putting a ghostform counter on Wormfang Manta.
Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Wormfang Manta.
When Wormfang Manta dies, its second ability and its ghostform ability trigger.
Resolve the ghostform trigger, returning Wormfang Manta from your graveyard to your hand and creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
Resolve the second trigger, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
Cast Wormfang Manta by paying 5.
Wormfang Manta's first ability does not trigger due to Torpor Orb.
Repeat each turn.
This clever sequence harnesses the unique downside of Wormfang Manta and turns it into an infinite time machine, fueled by the ghostly protection of Kaya the Inexorable. Normally, casting the Manta forces you to skip a turn when it enters, but Torpor Orb steps in to completely suppress that painful drawback while letting its leaves-the-battlefield trigger function normally. By using Bartolomé del Presidio to sacrifice the Manta to the graveyard, you trigger both its own extra-turn ability and the ghostform counter's return effect, allowing you to recast it every single turn and trap your opponents in an endless loop of your own unending phases.
