What must be in place

You have at least three experience counters.

How to execute it

  1. Cast Apex of Power by paying at most {4}{R}{R}{R}.
  2. If you have fewer than ten experience counters, Mizzix of the Izmagnus triggers, causing you to get an experience counter.
  3. Resolve Apex of Power, exiling the top seven cards of your library with the ability to cast them until end of turn, and adding either ten {U} or ten {R}.
  4. Cast Mystic Retrieval by paying {U}, returning Apex of Power from your graveyard to your hand.
  5. Cast Mystic Retrieval from your graveyard for its flashback cost by paying {R}, returning Runic Repetition from your graveyard to your hand and exiling Mystic Retrieval.
  6. Cast Runic Repetition by paying {U}, returning Mystic Retrieval from exile to your hand.
  7. Repeat.
