Magic: the Gathering Is Turing Complete

It would be nice if their explanation actually made sense, if you wanted to do this.

Specifically, this

We use Skirk Drill Sergeant to cause the Chancellor of the Spires to repeatedly enter the battlefield, and Wheel of Sun and Moon to put it back into Denzil's library. No special tricks need to be done to get the Time and Tide card back where we want it, as the Chancellor lets the instant go back into Bob's graveyard when it resolves.

...makes no sense. Skirk drill sergeant doesnt apply to chancellor (a sphinx), and even if it did, it doesnt help you cast it over and over and over. It just helps you get it out of your library once the drill sergeant dies, assuming you modify the text to apply to sphinxes.

That whole setup seems to make no sense whatsoever.
