How it works

  1. Activate a mana-producing permanent by tapping it, adding at least U mana.
  2. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying U mana, blinking the mana-producing permanent and Zealous Lorecaster.
  3. When Zealous Lorecaster enters, it triggers, returning Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Repeat.

This clever loop leverages the explosive spell-discounting power of Magnus the Red, whose Spawn tokens drop the cost of Ghostly Flicker down to a single blue mana. Once you have enough creature tokens to discount the flicker completely or to just one blue, you cast it to exile and return a mana-producing permanent alongside Zealous Lorecaster. Every time Zealous Lorecaster re-enters the battlefield, its triggered ability plucks Ghostly Flicker right back out of your graveyard, allowing you to repeat the cycle indefinitely for infinite enters-the-battlefield, landfall, and storm triggers.
