Quintorius Kand + Flicker + Thousand-Year Storm + Hag Hedge-Mage

Quintorius Kand

Flicker

Thousand-Year Storm

Hag Hedge-Mage

How it works

1. Cast Flicker by paying 1, targeting Hag Hedge-Mage.
2. Thousand-Year Storm triggers, copying Flicker at least once, with each copy targeting Quintorius Kand.
3. Resolve the first copy of Flicker, blinking Quintorius Kand.
4. Any remaining copies of Flicker fizzle due to having no legal target.
5. Resolve the original Flicker, blinking Hag Hedge-Mage.
6. When Hag Hedge-Mage enters the battlefield, its second ability triggers, putting Flicker on top of your library from your graveyard.
7. Activate Quintorius Kand's second loyalty ability by removing three loyalty counters from it, causing you to exile Flicker from the top of your library and cast it without paying its mana cost, targeting Hag Hedge-Mage.
8. Quintorius Kand and Thousand-Year Storm trigger.
9. Resolve the Quintorius Kand trigger, dealing 2 damage to each opponent and causing you to gain 2 life.
10. Resolve the Thousand-Year Storm trigger, copying Flicker at least twice, with each copy targeting Quintorius Kand.
11. Repeat from step 3.
12. You may optionally target any permanent using the additional Flicker copies to blink them.

This loop turns a modest instant into an unstoppable engine by weaponizing the interaction between the stack and the command zone. You cast Flicker to kick things off, letting Thousand-Year Storm begin building up a copy count that ensures safety and flexibility. Meanwhile, Hag Hedge-Mage acts as your recursive engine, utilizing its forest-checking ability to continually recycle that very same Flicker right back to the top of your library. From there, Quintorius Kand takes center stage—first by using its discover-like minus ability to cast Flicker from exile for free, which then triggers its passive drain-and-gain ability to slowly drain your opponents dry while fueling your storm count ever higher.
