Auriok Steelshaper is the linchpin: it makes equipping Skullclamp to Crookshank Kobolds cost zero, which collapses the creature's toughness to zero as a state-based action, killing it and triggering both Skullclamp's draw and Enduring Renewal's recursion. Crookshank Kobolds costs zero to recast, so the loop runs without any mana input beyond assembling the four pieces. Red-white equipment commanders — Sram, Senior Edificer, Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist, or Wyleth, Soul of Steel — can tutor or draw into all four pieces naturally.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Skullclamp's equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Crookshank Kobolds.
  2. Crookshank Kobolds dies as a state-based action due to having zero toughness, triggering Enduring Renewal and Skullclamp.
  3. Resolve the Enduring Renewal trigger, returning Crookshank Kobolds from your graveyard to your hand.
  4. Resolve the Skullclamp trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
  5. Cast Crookshank Kobolds by paying {0}.
  6. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite card draw; Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite death triggers; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite LTB; Near-infinite sacrifice triggers; Near-infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Ornithopter of Paradise or Shield Sphere can replace Crookshank Kobolds as the zero-cost creature in this slot, but any substitute needs zero power or toughness reduction to die to Skullclamp's equip. Drawing the whole library without a win condition in hand is a dead end — have Aetherflux Reservoir, Thassa's Oracle, or an Altar of Dementia in the list to convert the storm count or empty library into a win on the same turn.
