MTG Card Back
the back of a classic MtG card

Color Identity: U, R

Initial Card State

  1.  Twice Upon a Time // Unlikely Meeting 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 control at least two Doctors.
  2. You have enough mana to cast Twice Upon a Time 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 Twice Upon a Time by paying its mana cost.
  3. Taigam triggers, copying Twice Upon a Time and then exiling it with four time counters on it and giving it suspend.
  4. Resolve the copy of Twice Upon a Time, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.
  5. Move to your next turn. At the beginning of that turn's upkeep, Twice Upon a Time 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 Twice Upon a Time 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 Twice Upon a Time'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.
