Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis + Time Stretch + Izzet Chronarch

Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis

Time Stretch

Izzet Chronarch

How it works

1. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, The Great Synthesis triggers, putting a lore counter on it. Its third chapter ability then triggers, causing you to cast Time Stretch and Izzet Chronarch without paying their mana costs, and then exiling The Great Synthesis and returning it to the battlefield as Jin-Gitaxias.
2. Resolve Time Stretch, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
3. Resolve the Izzet Chronarch spell. When it enters, it triggers, returning Time Stretch from your graveyard to your hand.
4. Activate Jin-Gitaxias by paying 3, exiling it and returning it to the battlefield as The Great Synthesis.
5. When The Great Synthesis enters with a lore counter on it, its first ability triggers, causing you to draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand and not have a maximum hand size for the rest of the game.
6. Move to your first extra turn. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, The Great Synthesis triggers, putting a lore counter on it. Its second chapter ability then triggers, returning all non-Phyrexian creatures (including Izzet Chronarch) from the battlefield to their owner's hand.
7. Repeat from step 1 during your second extra turn

This fascinating loop uses The Great Synthesis's explosive third chapter to cast both Time Stretch and Izzet Chronarch for free, granting you a pair of extra turns while recycling your spells. When Izzet Chronarch enters the battlefield, its triggered ability immediately plucks Time Stretch right back out of your graveyard to hand, setting up the next cycle. Meanwhile, Jin-Gitaxias can be paid for with its activated ability to flip the permanent back into a fresh Saga, allowing you to easily replay those chapters and repeat the entire sequence indefinitely for endless turns.
