THINGS TO KNOW

Rebound is relevant for “X” spells and spells that have alternative costs. If we rebound a Sphinx's Revelation , “X” will be zero when it boomerangs back to us and is cast from exile. Additionally, if we have some reason to cast an overloaded Cyclonic Rift on our main phase, when it rebounds back we effectively ignore the overload text and it reads “Return target nonland permanent you don’t control to its owner’s hand”.

We can pay additional costs such as Buyback ( Capsize ), Kicker ( Rite of Replication ) or Entwine ( Second Sight ) for rebounded spells, and since we’re likely to include cost-reducers such as Primal Amulet   or Baral, Chief of Compliance those will apply to those additional costs.

The delayed trigger created by Rebound is a “may” ability. This means if we choose not to cast a rebounded spell or are unable to (say if there are no legal targets or we are unable to pay additional costs), then that spell remains in exile permanently.

WINCONS

Approach of the Second Sun + Mystical Tutor

Taigam, Ojutai Master + Time Warp + Call to Mind + Relearn + Not Forgotten

Taigam, Ojutai Master + Time Warp + Archaeomancer + Essence Flux

( Taigam, Ojutai Master ) + Time Warp + Ghostly Flicker + Archaeomancer + Mystic Sanctuary . Infinite loops like Ghostly flickering Mystic Sanctuary and Archaeomancer to get back any extra turn spell (Time Warp) and Ghostly Flicker to take infinite turns.

Magus of the Balance + Teferi's Protection

Dovescape + Guile . This process requires a non-zero cmc instant/sorcery. Taigam doesn't need to be in play for this. I will explain it because it's a little complicated to understand.

Dovescape's token creation is not dependant on the countering effect being successful. As such, when Dovescape's triggered ability resolves, the replacement effect of Guile would exile the spell. If an opponent was casting the spell he/she would get the bird tokens. And then you would be able to cast that spell without paying its mana cost. If you do, Dovescape would trigger to counter it and Guile would trigger again. Thus you would get the tokens, and another attempt to cast the spell for free. This would repeat until you decide not to cast the spell (as this is the only optional component of the cycle). You can get as many 1/1 Bird tokens as you want and then stop. The spell goes to its owner's graveyard. The tokens don't have haste, so the ideal play would be to have an extra turn or counters to protect your board.
