Wormfang Manta + Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd + Doorkeeper Thrull

Wormfang Manta

Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd

Doorkeeper Thrull

How it works

1. Blink Wormfang Manta using Phelia. Wormfang Manta's first ability won't trigger due to Doorkeeper Thrull.
2. Wormfang Manta's second ability triggers, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
3. Repeat each turn.

This clever loop twists Wormfang Manta's severe drawback into a perpetual time machine by taking advantage of the stack and trigger timing. Phelia, Exuberant Shepherd provides the crucial flash-and-blink engine needed to repeatedly exile and return the Manta, while Doorkeeper Thrull works its silent magic by suppressing the Manta's enter-the-battlefield penalty that would normally make you skip your next turn. Instead, only the leave-the-battlefield trigger matters, granting you an endless sequence of extra turns to completely lock down the game.
