Every turn Thassa, Deep-Dwelling blinks Eternal Witness at end step, which returns Time Stretch from the graveyard to hand; casting it again for 8UU restarts the cycle two turns later. The loop asks for ten mana every other turn, so it fits best in Simic ramp shells — Thassa as commander or under a general like Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait that floods the board with land drops.

Steps

  4. Repeat every other turn.

Result

Infinite turns; Lock

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Conjurer's Closet replaces Thassa if the enchantment gets removed, though it lacks Thassa's activated flicker for utility outside the combo. Walk the Aeons is a cheaper extra-turn spell that also returns itself via landfall if Time Stretch is too steep on mana, but it loses the synergy with Eternal Witness and requires a different recursion line entirely.
