Conjurer's Closet blinks Eternal Witness at the end of each turn, which returns Capture of Jingzhou from the graveyard to hand in time to cast it again on the following turn. The loop costs 3UU per cycle, so any green-blue deck with meaningful mana acceleration — Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy, or a dense ramp package — can sustain it. The table sees a hard lock the moment the engine is online.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Temporal Manipulation and Time Warp are functional reprints of Capture of Jingzhou at the same 3UU cost if one copy isn't enough redundancy. Any other end-step blink engine — Deadeye Navigator paired with a mana creature — can replace Conjurer's Closet, and Regrowth effects like Reclaim are too slow here since the retrieval must happen on the end step to set up the next turn cleanly.
