How it works

  1. Cast Walk the Aeons by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Activate Dust Bowl by paying 3, tapping it and sacrificing Mystic Sanctuary, destroying a nonbasic land.
  3. Play Mystic Sanctuary from your graveyard.
  4. When Mystic Sanctuary enters untapped, it triggers, putting Walk the Aeons from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
  5. Move to your next turn, drawing Walk the Aeons during your draw step.
  6. Repeat.

This intricate late-game loop achieves near-infinite turns by continually recycling a single copy of Walk the Aeons straight back to your hand or library. The magic relies on Icetill Explorer, whose static abilities are the true engine here—allowing you to play lands from your graveyard while granting an additional land drop on each of your turns. This lets you redeploy Mystic Sanctuary, which naturally enters untapped when you control three or other Islands and triggers to place Walk the Aeons back on top of your library for your next draw step. Meanwhile, Dust Bowl acts as a utility sacrifice outlet, letting you ditch the played Mystic Sanctuary into the graveyard so Icetill Explorer can pull it right back out again.
