Golbez, Crystal Collector + Repository Skaab + Time Walk

Golbez, Crystal Collector

Repository Skaab

Time Walk

How it works

1. Cast Time Walk by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
2. Cast Repository Skaab by paying 3.
3. When Repository Skaab enters the battlefield, its first ability triggers, causing it to exploit itself. Its second ability then triggers, returning Time Walk from your graveyard to your hand.
4. At the beginning of your end step, Golbez's second ability triggers, returning Repository Skaab from your graveyard to your hand.
5. Repeat each turn.

This vintage-legal loop achieves absolute control by looping Time Walk indefinitely, ensuring your opponents never take another turn. Repository Skaab serves as the engine's primary recurring piece, sacrificing itself to its own exploit ability to continuously pluck Time Walk back from your graveyard into your hand. Meanwhile, Golbez, Crystal Collector anchors the late-game recursion by utilizing its end-step trigger to safely return Repository Skaab right back to your hand, while its artifact-counting abilities also provide helpful surveil utility along the way.
