Hit the Mother Lode is the engine: cast for 4RRR, exile and free-cast Eternal Witness off the top, get seven Treasures. Mortuary puts Eternal Witness straight back to the library on death, Amulet of Vigor untaps the Treasures immediately, and Eternal Witness returns Hit the Mother Lode to hand — the loop costs 4RRR to restart and generates seven fresh Treasures each pass, netting two colorless and three red per iteration on top of infinite storm triggers.

When Eternal Witness and the Treasures enter the battlefield, Amulet of Vigor triggers seven times and Eternal Witness triggers once.
Resolve all Amulet of Vigor triggers, untapping the Treasures.
Resolve the Eternal Witness trigger, returning Hit the Mother Lode from your graveyard to your hand.
Activate five Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo has no direct substitute for Hit the Mother Lode — the spell is load-bearing — but the kill is flexible: infinite storm count closes with Grapeshot, infinite mana closes with Walking Ballista or Exsanguinate, and infinite ETBs close with Impact Tremors or Purphoros, God of the Forge. Any commander that tutors artifacts finds Ashnod's Altar and Amulet of Vigor; the harder ask is assembling Mortuary, which sees almost no other play and sits in the bin waiting to be exiled by an opponent's graveyard hate.
