The 3 combo pieces

What must be in place

You have an instant and/or sorcery card in hand with cycling.
Lands you control can tap to produce {4}{U}{U} plus enough additional mana to cycle the instant/sorcery card in hand.

How to execute it

  1. Activate all mana-producing lands you control by tapping them, adding at least {3}{U}{U} plus enough mana to pay for the cycling cost of an instant/sorcery card in your hand.
  2. Cast Turnabout by paying {2}{U}{U}, untapping all lands you control.
  3. Activate any instant/sorcery card in your hand's cycling ability by paying its cycling cost and discarding it.
  4. Escape Protocol triggers, causing you to pay {1} to blink Scholar of the Ages.
  5. Scholar of the Ages enters the battlefield, returning Turnabout and the card with cycling from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Resolve the cycling ability from step 2, causing you to draw a card.
  7. Repeat.
