Ghostly Flicker blinks Eternal Witness and Warden of the Eye simultaneously; Witness returns Ghostly Flicker to hand, Warden returns Turnabout to hand, and Turnabout untaps all lands to refund the loop's cost. Any commander running blue with access to creature and instant recursion — Anikthea, Hand of Erebos or Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, for instance — can slot this in as a late-game mana-positive storm engine that doubles as infinite landfall if fetch lands are involved.

Steps

Activate any number of lands you control by tapping them, adding at least .
Cast Turnabout by paying , untapping all lands you control.
Cast Ghostly Flicker by paying , blinking Eternal Witness and Warden of the Eye.
When Eternal Witness and Warden of the Eye enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Turnabout and Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.

Result

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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness can be replaced by Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall for the instant recursion half, though both cost more mana and push the minimum land requirement higher. The loop produces infinite storm count and magecraft triggers but no native kill — pair it with Aetherflux Reservoir, Sphinx-Bone Wand, or any ETB damage payoff to close; the engine alone just loops forever.
