Salvaging Station recurs Sol Ring every time a 0-cost artifact dies; Sly Requisitioner supplies that fodder by minting a 1/1 Servo each time a noncreature artifact is sacrificed to Arcbound Ravager. The cycle is self-sustaining: Sol Ring floats mana, Ravager eats it, Sly Requisitioner prints a Servo, Ravager eats that too, Salvaging Station resets. Black artifact commanders — Tivit, Seller of Secrets, Marionette Master, or Bolas's Citadel builds — run all four pieces without contortion.

Activate Arcbound Ravager by sacrificing the Servo.
The Servo dies, triggering Salvaging Station, untapping Salvaging Station.
Resolve the Arcbound Ravager ability, putting a +1/+1 counter on it.
Activate Salvaging Station by tapping it, returning Sol Ring from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Disciple of the Vault converts the infinite death triggers into a table kill without needing the colorless mana at all, and it slots in as a five-drop alongside the existing engine. If Arcbound Ravager is answered before the loop starts, Krark-Clan Ironworks can substitute as the sacrifice outlet with minor adjustment to mana math. Sly Requisitioner is the least replaceable piece here — no other card in black prints a free artifact on each noncreature sacrifice without additional conditions.
