Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
Timestream Navigator does not have summoning sickness. You have the city's blessing.

During your upkeep, activate Timestream Navigator by paying {2}{U}{U}, tapping it and putting it on the bottom of your library, causing you to take an extra turn after this one.

River Song + Radiant Performer + Field of Ruin
- Near-infinite damage
Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
An opponent controls at least one nonbasic land.
Steps
Activate Field of Ruin's second ability by paying {2}, tapping and sacrificing it, targeting any nonbasic land an opponent controls. Holding priority, cast Radiant Performer by paying {3}{R}{R}. When Radiant Performer enters the battlefield, it triggers, copying Field of Ruin's ability for each other nonbasic land your opponents control. Resolve the first Field of Ruin ability, destroying the land it it targeting, then causing each player to search their library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield. River Song triggers for each opponent who searches this way. Resolve the first trigger, putting a +1/+1 counter on it and dealing damage equal to its power to an opponent. Repeat step 6 for each other trigger. Repeat from step 4 for each other Field of Ruin ability.
