2 | Resolve Time Stretch, causing you to take two extra turns after this one. |
3 | Resolve the Ardent Elementalist spell. When it enters, it triggers, returning Time Stretch from your graveyard to your hand. |
4 | Activate Jin-Gitaxias by paying , exiling it and returning it to the battlefield as The Great Synthesis. |

6 | Move to your first extra turn. At the beginning of your precombat main phase, The Great Synthesis triggers, putting a lore counter on it. Its second chapter ability then triggers, returning all non-Phyrexian creatures (including Ardent Elementalist) from the battlefield to their owner's hand. |
