Ghostly Flicker + Scholar of the Ages + Vadrik, Astral Archmage

Ghostly Flicker

Scholar of the Ages

Vadrik, Astral Archmage

How it works

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

This clever loop turns Vadrik, Astral Archmage into a magical discount engine, pumping up its power and lowering costs as day and night shift back and forth. With spells cheapened enough, you cast Ghostly Flicker targeting Scholar of the Ages alongside any mana-producing permanent. As Scholar of the Ages enters the battlefield, its triggered ability lets you fish Ghostly Flicker right back out of your graveyard, setting up a continuous cycle that generates endless enters-the-battlefield triggers and storm count.
