Saffi Eriksdotter protects Eternal Witness on death; Ashnod's Altar turns that sacrifice into two colorless; Aluren lets Saffi recast for free each loop, keeping the chain self-sustaining. Every iteration fires an ETB, an LTB, a death trigger, and a sacrifice trigger — Seasons Past loops, Altar of Dementia mill, and Blood Artist pings all close the game from here.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Reveillark replaces Eternal Witness as the recursion engine if the graveyard is exiled — it returns Saffi directly on its own death with slightly different setup. For the kill, Altar of Dementia mills libraries with the infinite sacrifice count, while Blood Artist or Zulaport Cutthroat drains the table on every death trigger; the engine runs either way.
