Ghostly Flicker blinks Temple of the False God and Mystic Sanctuary simultaneously; Mystic Sanctuary's enter-the-battlefield trigger puts Ghostly Flicker back on top, and Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait draws a card for each land entering — two lands blinking means two draws per cycle, one of which is the next Ghostly Flicker. The loop self-sustains as long as Temple of the False God can tap for two colorless, covering the spell's cost with the blue floating from Mystic Sanctuary.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any land that taps for two or more mana can replace Temple of the False God — Gaea's Cradle, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, or even a Cabal Coffers in a splash shell — as long as the total production covers three mana. The loop draws the entire library but doesn't close the game alone; pair it with Thassa's Oracle or Blue Sun's Zenith to convert the hand into a win.
