How it works

  1. Activate Sakashima the Impostor using Avatar Kuruk's ability by paying 20 minus 1 for each creature and/or artifact you can tap while activating it, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  2. Activate Lilysplash Mentor by paying 1G manaU mana, blinking Sakashima the Impostor. Choose to have it enter the battlefield as a copy of Avatar Kuruk.
  3. Repeat each turn.

This elegant loop lets you chain infinite extra turns by exploiting the unique re-entry properties of a transforming double-faced card. By letting The Legend of Kuruk // Avatar Kuruk reach its back face, you unlock a massive Waterbend exhaust ability that you can pay for using your board's artifacts and creatures. Then, by using Lilysplash Mentor to blink your copy of the Avatar, Sakashima the Impostor is able to reset its once-per-game restriction and re-enter the battlefield fresh as a brand-new copy of Avatar Kuruk.
