Hit the Mother Lode is the engine: cast it for 4RRR, exile Eternal Witness off the top via Mortuary's redirection, cast Witness free, get seven Treasures, and Amulet of Vigor untaps them all immediately. Eternal Witness returns Hit the Mother Lode to hand, six Treasures pay 4RR, and the loop repeats with one red mana net per cycle. The combo is fragile — Mortuary does nothing without a sacrifice outlet, Amulet of Vigor is dead without Treasures entering tapped, and a single enchantment removal at the right moment collapses the whole chain.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Dockside Extortionist can substitute as a mana accelerant to get into the loop faster but doesn't replace any piece. Walking Ballista or Grapeshot closes immediately once mana goes infinite — Hit the Mother Lode generates the storm count, so Grapeshot is the cleaner one-card kill; drop a redundant rock for it.
