Yet another kamigawa!!

The game plan is simple: to control the board with free counterspells.

Interactions Show

You'd want to bump Callow Jushi   to 3-5 Ki counters before flipping, then start controlling the board with bounce, pingers, and flying spirits!

You can bounce/flicker Callow Jushi   to flip him back and start accumulating counters again.

Because of this, its better to hold Veil of Secrecy in hand and Splice Onto Arcane, to abuse the bouce effect to reuse your many ETB creatures, reset Callow, or recast spirits for value.

Combo? Show

Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Peregrine Drake : Infinite mana

With infinite mana

Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Mnemonic Wall : return all instants/ sorceries to hand (notably some are arcane)

Cast these spells infinitely, netting infinite counters on Callow Jushi  , basically locking your opponents out for the rest of the game.

Teller of Tales with any pinger and infinite cast triggers means you can also ping your opponents to death
