How it works

  1. Cast Capture of Jingzhou by paying its mana cost, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Cast Warden of the Eye by paying its mana cost.
  3. When Warden of the Eye enters the battlefield, it triggers, returning Capture of Jingzhou from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Move to your next turn.
  5. Activate Dour Port-Mage by paying 1U mana and tapping it, returning Warden of the Eye from the battlefield to your hand.
  6. Dour Port-Mage triggers, causing you to draw a card.
  7. Repeat.

This elegant loop harnesses the persistent recursion of Warden of the Eye to endlessly chain extra turns with Capture of Jingzhou. Each time Warden of the Eye enters the battlefield, its triggered ability plucks the sorcery right back out of your graveyard, ensuring you never run out of time. To keep the engine running, Dour Port-Mage steps in with both its activated ability—bouncing the Warden back to hand so it can be re-cast—and its static triggered ability, which rewards all this movement by drawing you a card every single time the Warden leaves the battlefield.
