Turnabout untaps all lands after casting, refunding the mana spent on both it and Ghostly Flicker; Ghostly Flicker then blinks Eternal Witness and Possessed Skaab back to the battlefield, where their ETB triggers recover both spells from the graveyard to restart the loop. The prerequisite of four lands producing at least 4UUU is demanding — this is a mid-to-late-game assembly, not a turn-3 combo. Commanders like Sultai Reanimator shells or Muldrotha, the Gravetide lists that already run these creatures as value pieces are the natural home.

How it works

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 Possessed Skaab.
When Eternal Witness and Possessed Skaab enter the battlefield, they trigger, returning Turnabout and Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard to your hand.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness is the linchpin; Possessed Skaab can be replaced by any creature that returns an instant or sorcery from the graveyard on ETB, such as Archaeomancer or Salvager of Secrets, at the cost of only recovering one spell per blink instead of two. For the kill, the infinite storm count feeds Aetherflux Reservoir, and infinite ETBs close with Impact Tremors or a draw engine like Altar of the Brood milling all opponents out.
