How it works

  1. Cast Walk the Aeons by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Cast Izzet Chronarch by paying its mana cost.
  3. When Izzet Chronarch enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Walk the Aeons from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Move to your next turn.
  5. Activate Dour Port-Mage by paying 1U mana and tapping it, returning Izzet Chronarch from the battlefield to your hand.
  6. Dour Port-Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  7. Repeat.

This cunning loop locks down the game by stitching together endless extra turns with relentless card draw. By casting Walk the Aeons, you secure your extra turns, while Izzet Chronarch constantly digs the spell right back out of your graveyard the moment it enters the battlefield. Dour Port-Mage acts as the engine's mechanical pivot, using its activated ability to bounce Izzet Chronarch back to your hand so you can replay it, all while its passive triggered ability rewards your constant shuffling of creatures by drawing you a card every single time Izzet Chronarch leaves the battlefield.
