Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle is the engine: every historic spell cast returns Aether Channeler, which bounces a permanent, while Thermopod converts each Aether Channeler sacrifice into a red mana. Sol Ring and a historic permanent costing at or below 1CR keep the loop self-sustaining, with any cheaper historic permanent generating net mana per cycle. The combo fits cleanly into Teshar-led artifact recursion decks that already run Sol Ring and want a Thermopod as a sacrifice outlet.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite storm count; Infinite red mana

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any historic permanent costing exactly 1CR closes the loop at parity; anything cheaper spills infinite colorless and red. If Thermopod is unavailable, no direct substitute preserves the sacrifice-for-red line — the combo is tightly built around it. Walking Ballista or Altar of the Brood converts the infinite ETB count into a table kill once the loop is running.
