Muldrotha, the Gravetide replaces the graveyard as the hand: Eternal Witness recasts from the yard each turn, returns Walk the Aeons, then gets sacrificed to Ashnod's Altar for the two colorless needed to offset Walk the Aeons's 6-mana cost. The loop costs 3GG per turn cycle net and requires Muldrotha to survive — one piece of creature removal collapses it entirely.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

You have not cast a creature spell using Muldrotha this turn.

02

Steps

  1. Cast Eternal Witness from your graveyard by paying {1}{G}{G}.
  2. Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, returning Walk the Aeons from your graveyard to your hand.
  3. Activate Ashnod's Altar by sacrificing Eternal Witness, adding {C}{C}.
  4. Cast Walk the Aeons by paying {4}{U}{U}, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  5. Repeat each turn.

03

Result

Infinite turns; Lock

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Seasons Past can substitute for Eternal Witness as the recursion engine, though it demands a different cast sequence through Muldrotha. Shroud or hexproof protection — Lightning Greaves, Sylvan Safekeeper — is the real upgrade; the combo is worthless without Muldrotha in play, so protecting her is the deckbuilding priority, not finding alternate win conditions.
