Timestream Navigator, Enter the Infinite, Lightning Greaves
Nuff said
dbpunk Timestream Navigator ALWAYS goes to the bottom of the library when you use the ability. So you use it, finish what you need to do that turn, end, draw Timestream Navigator and reuse the ability.

But your hand doesnt shuffle back into your library. You instead throw away your entire hand in most cases.

If you've already drawn your whole deck, why do you need infinite turns?
Either you've got a win-con combo that you don't need turns to deploy or if you're planning on attacking there are easier ways to get the turns you need.

But, if you're casting enter the infinite, shouldn't you just be winning the game anyway?

An easier way to pull it off is just Cellar Door and either Eternal Witness + some repeatable blink effect or just something like Phyrexian Reclamation. That takes a lot of mana though. I feel like there are just so many cheaper and easier infinite turn combos.

Is the purpose of the noted combo specific to just mono-blue, because 16 mana to activate is a crazy amount - as vishnarg noted, you should have won already. Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Timestream Navigator seems much more efficient at 9 total CMC to activate if casting Kiki, or just 6 if casting the Navigator with Kiki already in play. Considering you need 10 permanents to activate anyway, the combo seems somewhat lackluster either way - certainly not cEDH material.

You don't need your hand, your point is moot. The point is the combo itself not its application. In any deck just play a singular copy of Spellbook

A janky fun combo for casual play, I myself am using it in my EDH deck as a stupid way to win
Not in the deck I play, its just a new janky way to win for me and I thought Id share it
That and I love Timestream Navigator because of its cool concept and art and wanted to find something to break it slightly

Fair enough, and I agree, the art is excellent. Maybe a token Izzet brew could really break the combo.

Azdranax I hope it sees some play, somewhere, Id most likely build the deck tbh

MagicalHacker but thats boring, much too simple! But I suppose I could put a copy in my deck just in case ;)

This requires Grixis, but Grenzo, Dungeon Warden + Timestream Navigator

Use it with Deadeye Navigator in an Inalla, Archmage Ritualist deck... And now I know what I'm building again.

Glad to see someone was inspired by this:)

Why not just use him with Survival of the Fittest, Fauna Shaman, or Birthing Pod?

Unless you have a way to shuffle Your hand back into your deck each turn, that isnt always reliable.
Maybe try Mimic Vat+Timestream Navigator?
