How it works

  1. Cast Time Stretch by paying its mana cost, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
  2. Activate Magar by paying 1B manaR mana, noting Time Stretch and putting it face down as a 3/3 creature.
  3. Move to your second extra turn.
  4. Deal combat damage to an opponent with the face down creature.
  5. The face down creature triggers, causing you to cast a copy of Time Stretch without paying its mana cost.
  6. Resolve the copy of Time Stretch, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
  7. Repeat from step 3.

This ingenious combination turns your graveyard into a perpetual engine of extra turns by weaponizing Magar of the Magic Strings and his ability to animate instants and sorceries as 3/3 creatures. Once you have successfully cast and resolved Time Stretch, Magar can reach into the graveyard to resurrect that very spell as a disguised attacker. Whenever this face-down mystery connects with an opponent's face, its granted combat damage trigger lets you cast a free copy of Time Stretch, chaining into a continuous sequence of extra turns to bury your opponents under an insurmountable advantage.
