As I'm a professional programmer, Turing completeness is something which fascinates me most in IT. To me it's proof that humans, a vulnerable and imperfect species, are able to achieve big greatness, up to the point where creations of our minds are able to sustain whole unique universes which may exist by themselves.

As such, texts like this one, https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09828, are of very high interest for me. They also combine my profession with one of my oldest hobbies perfectly.

The following deck list is the listed Legacy deck from the paper. As it was summed up in Chapter V-B "Real-world playability and legality", the tutorial for playing it reads as follows:

"An example 60-card deck that is capable of executing this construction on the first turn of the game and which is legal in the competitive Legacy format [...] With the correct draw, the deck uses Ancient Tomb and three Lotus Petals to play Grim Monolith and Power Artifact and generate unlimited colourless mana, at which point Staff of Domination draws the rest of the deck and Gemstone Array generates unlimited coloured mana. The deck casts most of the permanents immediately, and uses Stolen Identity to make token copies of them (using Memnarch first on the enchantments like Cloak of Invisibility). The tape is initialised with Riptide Replicator and Capsize. Djinn Illuminatus or Reito Lantern allow repeated casting of the text-modification cards, as well as Reality Ripple which sets the phase of the Rotlung Reanimators and Donate [...]. Once everything is set up, Steely Resolve is cast, and then Karn Liberated and Capsize are used to exile all setup permanents and all cards from Bob’s hand, eventually exiling Capsize and Karn Liberated themselves. Now no player has any remaining choices except to let the Turing machine execute."

Compare to your inventory and try to build it yourselves. :p
