Turnabout untaps all lands after resolving, refunding the mana spent on it; Ghostly Flicker then blinks Eternal Witness and Returned Pastcaller, which return both spells from the graveyard and reset the loop. The combo sits in blue-heavy RGWU shells — Atraxa, Praetors' Voice, Riku of Two Reflections, or any build running enough lands to float three blue before the first cast — and wins through any permanent that cares about ETB triggers or landfall.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness can be replaced by Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall if the graveyard recursion piece is unavailable, though both require the same Ghostly Flicker line. The combo generates infinite triggers but no standalone kill — pair it with Altar of the Brood for landfall mill, Impact Tremors for ETB damage, or Thassa's Oracle once the library is depleted.
