Sevinne's Reclamation returns Eternal Witness to the battlefield; Eternal Witness returns Sevinne's Reclamation to hand; Ashnod's Altar sacrifices the Witness for two colorless; Pitiless Plunderer mints a Treasure that converts to the one white needed to recast Sevinne's Reclamation. The loop is self-sustaining once all four permanents are in play — no external mana source required after the first cast.

Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Dockside Extortionist can replace the Treasure-to-white conversion role if the table has enough artifacts and enchantments, but Pitiless Plunderer is the cleaner, unconditional piece. The loop produces infinite triggers but no direct win — pair it with Impact Tremors, Altar of Dementia, or Zulaport Cutthroat to close the game, all of which sit naturally in the Abzan aristocrats shell this combo demands.
