This vintage engine uses the massive mana production of Tolarian Academy to fuel a self-sustaining blink loop, made affordable thanks to Arcane Melee reducing Ghostly Flicker's cost down to just a single blue mana. When you cast Ghostly Flicker targeting Tolarian Academy and Scrivener, both cards are exiled and return to the battlefield fresh. Scrivener's entry trigger allows you to fish Ghostly Flicker right back out of your graveyard into your hand, ready to repeat the process as long as Tolarian Academy generates enough blue mana to cover the discounted spell.
