MTG Card Back
the back of a classic MtG card

Color Identity: U, R

Cards

  1. The Tenth Doctor
  2. Taigam, Master Opportunist
  3. Expropriate
  4. Self-Suspending Instant or Sorcery

Initial Card State

  1.  Expropriate in hand.
  2.   Self-Suspending Instant or Sorcery in hand or in exile (with time counter(s) on it).
  3.  The Tenth Doctor and Taigam on the battlefield.

Easy Prerequisites

  1. You have a storm count of 1 if the self-suspending card is not in your hand, or a storm count of 0 otherwise.

Notable Prerequisites

  1. You have enough mana to cast Expropriate and the self-suspending card, if needed, during the first turn.

Mana Needed

  1. ({7} magic symbol)   each extra turn available.

Steps

  1. Cast the self-suspending card by paying its mana cost if its in your hand, or any other spell otherwise if you have not cast a spell this turn.
  2. Cast Expropriate by paying its mana cost.
  3. Taigam triggers, copying Expropriate and then exiling it with four time counters on it and giving it suspend.
  4. Resolve the copy of Expropriate, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  5. Move to your next turn. At the beginning of that turn's upkeep, Expropriate and the self-suspending card's suspend abilities trigger, removing a time counter from each of them.
  6. Activate The Tenth Doctor by paying ({7} magic symbol)  , removing three time counters from Expropriate and the self-suspending card, triggering their suspend abilities.
  7. Resolve the self-suspending card's suspend trigger, causing you to cast it from exile without paying its mana cost, and eventually exile it with time counters on it.
  8. Resolve the Expropriate's suspend trigger, causing you to cast it from exile without paying its mana cost.
  9. Repeat from step 3.

Notes

  1. It is highly recommended to choose a self-suspending card that you are certain will have legal targets, if applicable, every time it is cast.

Results

  1. Infinite turns.
