Medomai the Ageless + Idris, Soul of the TARDIS + Jhoira's Timebug + Liquimetal Coating

Medomai the Ageless

Idris, Soul of the TARDIS

Jhoira's Timebug

Liquimetal Coating

How it works

1. Activate Liquimetal Coating by tapping it, causing Medomai the Ageless to become an artifact until end of turn.
2. Deal combat damage to an opponent using Medomai the Ageless.
3. Medomai the Ageless triggers, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
4. Cast Idris by paying 1.
5. When Idris enters the battlefield, it triggers, exiling Medomai the Ageless until Idris leaves the battlefield.
6. Activate Jhoira's Timebug by tapping it, putting a time counter on Idris.
7. Move to your extra turn.
8. At the beginning of your upkeep, Idris's vanishing ability triggers, removing a time counter from it.
9. Deal combat damage to an opponent using Idris.
10. Idris triggers, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
11. Repeat from step 6.

This clever sequence turns a legendary sphinx into an unstoppable, looping engine by weaponizing its most famous restriction. While Medomai the Ageless normally forbids itself from attacking during extra turns, Liquimetal Coating cleverly prepares the sphinx to be exiled by Idris, Soul of the TARDIS as an artifact upon casting. Once imprinted, Idris inherits Medomai's glorious combat damage trigger—granting extra turns without inheriting the Sphinx's attack restriction! Finally, Jhoira's Timebug works tirelessly to manipulate Idris's vanishing counters, ensuring the ship stays in play long enough to continuously secure your infinite turns.
