How it works

  1. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying U mana, targeting Scholar of the Ages and your untapped source, blinking them both.
  2. When Scholar of the Ages enters the battlefield, return Ghostly Flicker to your hand.
  3. Tap your untapped blue source for U mana.
  4. Repeat.

This elegant loop transforms Scholar of the Ages and Ghostly Flicker into a self-sustaining engine by repeatedly blinking the Scholar to fish the Flicker right back out of your graveyard. While the step-by-step dance of casting and returning the spell handles the execution, Semblance Anvil is the hidden catalyst that makes the math actually work; by exiling a card of the appropriate type upon entry, the Anvil slashes the mana cost of Ghostly Flicker so that it takes no more mana to recast than you generate along the way. Together, these three pieces turn a simple blink spell into an infinite storm of enters-the-battlefield triggers and recursive graveyard retrieval.
