Opalescence + Out of Time

Opalescence

Out of Time

How it works

1. Cast Out of Time by paying 1.
2. When Out of Time enters the battlefield, it triggers, causing you to untap all creatures and phase them out until Out of Time leaves the battlefield.
3. Because Opalescence causes all non-Aura enchantments to become creatures, it and Out of Time also phase out.
4. Because Out of Time is phased out, and has no way to phase back in, all permanents phased out by it are permanently phased out.

This ingenious lock relies on Opalescence transforming every non-Aura enchantment into a creature with power and toughness equal to its mana value, which turns Out of Time into a creature the moment it enters the battlefield. Because Out of Time is now a creature when its enter-the-battlefield trigger resolves, it phases out alongside every other creature and non-Aura enchantment currently in play—including itself. Since Out of Time is phased out, it ceases to exist on the battlefield and cannot remove its time counters, leaving the entire board of phased-out permanents permanently trapped in a state of stasis.
