Capture of Jingzhou grants an extra turn; Demonic Tutor finds Seasons Past, which returns both Capture of Jingzhou and Demonic Tutor to hand while sending itself to the bottom of the library to be found again next loop. The whole chain costs 3UU plus 1B plus 4GG per cycle, so the deck needs serious mana acceleration — Mana Crypt, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, or a deep ramp suite — before the engine becomes reliable. Tables see the first extra turn and immediately recognize the lock.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Time Stretch and Time Warp are direct substitutes for Capture of Jingzhou if the 5-mana slot is too steep, though all three buy the same result. Any tutor that puts a card in hand — Diabolic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, or even Bring to Light — can replace Demonic Tutor for redundancy, but Demonic Tutor's unconditional 1B cost keeps the mana curve tightest.
