Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle recurs Aether Channeler each time a historic spell resolves; Aether Channeler bounces Sol Ring back to hand, and Ashnod's Altar converts Aether Channeler's sacrifice into the colorless needed to recast it all. The loop relies on a fifth piece — any historic permanent costing 5 or less colorless to keep the engine running, with cheaper historics generating net mana each cycle.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Mox Amber or Mana Crypt as the fifth piece tightens the mana requirement and accelerates net-positive loops substantially. Spine of Ish Sah is the classic historic permanent paired with Teshar lines — it bounces itself to hand on death, which sidesteps the bounce dependency on Aether Channeler entirely. Sink the infinite colorless into Walking Ballista or Altar of Dementia for the kill.
