How it works

  1. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying U mana, targeting Nucklavee and your untapped source, blinking them both.
  2. When Nucklavee enters the battlefield, return Ghostly Flicker to your hand.
  3. Tap your untapped blue source for U mana.
  4. Repeat.

This classic loop relies on **Ghostly Flicker** and **Nucklavee** to generate an endless cycle of enters-the-battlefield triggers, all made possible by the cost-reducing power of **Arcane Melee**. Because **Arcane Melee** discounts instant and sorcery spells by two generic mana, casting **Ghostly Flicker** costs just a single blue mana, which can be fully refunded by tapping a mana source alongside **Nucklavee**. Every time **Nucklavee** blinks back into play, its triggered ability conveniently plucks **Ghostly Flicker** right back out of your graveyard and into your hand to keep the chain going.
