Notes

  1. You can use Clockspinning as a way to cast a spell before starting the combo if needed. Since you need to ensure Rise of the Eldrazi is always the second spell cast each extra turn after Clockspinning, it is recommended to not have any other suspended cards when beginning the combo. Otherwise, you can ensure Rise of the Eldrazi is second by casting Clockspinning with the other suspend abilities on the stack during your upkeep.

Results

  1. Infinite turns.
