Turnabout refunds the land mana spent to cast it and Ghostly Flicker; Ghostly Flicker blinks Eternal Witness and Vampire Charmseeker, which return both spells to hand and restart the loop. The combo lives in Sultai spellslinger or landfall shells — Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, Chulane, Teller of Tales, or any commander that prizes infinite ETB — where the storm count and magecraft triggers convert into a kill the same turn the engine assembles.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

Lands you control can tap to produce at least {4}{U}{U}{U}. If lands you control can tap to produce at least {5}{U}{U}{U}, this combo nets infinite mana. You can then stop casting Turnabout and blink one other permanent using Ghostly Flicker. You may also tap artifacts and/or creatures instead for mana if desired.

02

Steps

  1. Activate any number of lands you control by tapping them, adding at least {4}{U}{U}{U}.
  2. Cast Turnabout by paying {2}{U}{U}, untapping all lands you control.
  3. Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying {2}{U}, blinking Eternal Witness and Vampire Charmseeker.
  4. When Eternal Witness and Vampire Charmseeker enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Turnabout and Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite blinking; Infinite landfall triggers; Infinite mana permanents you control can produce

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness alone handles the recursion if Vampire Charmseeker is unavailable, but a second creature with an ETB that returns a spell is required to close the loop — Timeless Witness works as a direct substitute. The combo generates infinite mana but not a win by itself; pair it with Aetherflux Reservoir on the storm count or Altar of the Brood on the infinite ETBs to close.
