The 3 combo pieces

How to execute it

  1. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, The Great Synthesis triggers, putting a lore counter on it. Its third chapter ability then triggers, causing you to cast Time Stretch and Donnie & April without paying their mana costs, and then exiling The Great Synthesis and returning it to the battlefield as Jin-Gitaxias.
  2. Resolve Time Stretch, causing you to take two extra turns after this one.
  3. Resolve the Donnie & April spell. When it enters, it triggers, returning Time Stretch from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Activate Jin-Gitaxias by paying {3}{U}, exiling it and returning it to the battlefield as The Great Synthesis.
  5. When The Great Synthesis enters with a lore counter on it, its first ability triggers, causing you to draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand and not have a maximum hand size for the rest of the game.
  6. Move to your first extra turn. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, The Great Synthesis triggers, putting a lore counter on it. Its second chapter ability then triggers, returning all non-Phyrexian creatures (including Donnie & April) from the battlefield to their owner's hand.
  7. Repeat from step 1 during your second extra turn
