Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis + Time Stretch + Greenwarden of Murasa

Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis

Time Stretch

Greenwarden of Murasa

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 Greenwarden of Murasa 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 Greenwarden of Murasa 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 Greenwarden of Murasa) from the battlefield to their owner's hand.
7. Repeat from step 1 during your second extra turn

This intricate loop achieves an absolute lock on the game by chaining infinite turns through the power of The Great Synthesis (the back face of Jin-Gitaxias). When the Saga reaches its third chapter, you cast both Time Stretch and Greenwarden of Murasa for free; the creature's entrance triggers to hand back Time Stretch, while Jin-Gitaxias flips back over to reset the Saga. As The Great Synthesis re-enters, its first chapter immediately refills your hand while its second chapter bounces Greenwarden of Murasa back to safety, allowing you to replay the loop endlessly across the extra turns granted by Time Stretch.
