a triggered ability negation in the command zone? Say no more king i have some effects to abuse

you can go infinite with wormfang manta, ghostly flicker/displace/illusionist's stratagem, ertai, and archaeomancer/possessed skaab. can substitute a stifle for ertai if you have additional blinks or recursion. i haven't really thought about any specific loops with displacer kitten but that thing goes infinite if you breathe on it so i assume there's plenty there (or deadeye, same situation).

Alternatively, wormfang manta, thassa/conjurer's closet, and sundial of the infinite.

temporal extortion's counter effect is in fact a triggered ability, meaning if you counter that ability your opponents get no chance to pay their life. is this worth running over time warp itself when it's only one more mana, and not 4 of one color? no, but consider that it is much funnier.

also mystic reflection on wormfang manta to make an opponent skip a turn (or several) is maximum peak comedy

no panharmonicon for obvious reasons

any recommendations for silly shenanigans i can add (or cards to remove, i am very bad at removing cards) would be appreciated
