Goal of this deck is to skip an arbitrarily large number of turns while preventing your opponents from interacting with you. Win condition is decking all opponents or drawing to time (if they have Eldrazi/Elixir). Deck is currently a prototype because Teferi's Protection is technically not commander legal.

Turn skips:

Chronatog (Top-tier turn skipper)

Grand Abolisher + Lethal Vapors (2-card turn skip combo)

Chronosavant (Requires a lot of mana; does not allow large number of skips)

Chronatog Totem (Skip every other turn)

Eater of Days (One time turn skip)

Meditate (One time turn skip)

Magosi, the Waterveil (Skip every other turn)

---

Once a large number of turns have been skipped, there are a number of ways to prevent your opponents from interacting with you, or at least make their lives difficult.

Teferi's Protection

Chronomantic Escape

Orzhov Advokist (Only if your opponents take the bait)

Island Sanctuary

Glacial Chasm

Stasis

Mana Vortex

Reality Twist

Mind's Dilation (not a very good card but I think it's fun in this deck)

---

The rest of the deck is fast mana, disruption, tutors, and a few miscellaneous cards that help things along. Zur's only purpose is to find a few of the less important enchantments. He could be substituted for Ertai, the Corrupted or even Ravos, Soultender + Silas Renn, Seeker Adept .

---

A few cards that are on the chopping block are:

Buried Alive - Only purpose is to get Chronosavant in the graveyard. Probably not good enough.

Entomb - Same as Buried Alive.

Rings of Brighthearth - Doubles some of the one-off turn skips. Probably not worth running.

Any of the non-infinite turn skippers - Might be better to focus on the real combo rather than the cute one-off skippers.
