Hit the Mother Lode is the centerpiece: cast it for 4RRR, exile Eternal Witness off the top via Mortuary's replacement effect, cast it free, and recover Hit the Mother Lode immediately. Thermopod contributes the one red mana that bridges each iteration, and Amulet of Vigor is the reason seven tapped Treasures become six untapped ones — without it, the loop collapses. This lives in Jund artifact-storm or Prossh, Skyraider of Kher shells that can tutor all five pieces.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Replacing Amulet of Vigor is not realistic here — it is load-bearing and has no functional substitute in this loop. The infinite storm count pairs naturally with Aetherflux Reservoir as the kill, and infinite Treasures enable any X-spell finisher like Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate; the loop needs a sink, and Jund gives plenty to choose from.
