Followed Footsteps on Eternal Witness creates a token copy each upkeep; that token's enters-the-battlefield trigger retrieves Walk the Aeons from the graveyard, and casting it for 4UU starts the loop again. The combo lives in Simic extra-turns shells — Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait or Kruphix, God of Horizons are the natural homes — where Followed Footsteps is the critical piece to protect, because losing it ends the engine immediately.

02

Steps

  1. Cast Walk the Aeons by paying {4}{U}{U}, taking an extra turn after this one.
  2. Move to your next turn.

  4. Eternal Witness enters the battlefield, returning Walk the Aeons from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite creature tokens; Infinite turns; Lock

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Strionic Resonator can copy the Followed Footsteps upkeep trigger as a redundancy layer, but it doesn't replace any of the three pieces. The combo has no built-in kill condition beyond the lock itself — pair it with Thassa's Oracle or an impact creature like Avenger of Zendikar to close the game, since infinite turns alone only win if the table scoops.
