Auriok Steelshaper reduces Skullclamp's equip cost to 0, which lets Crimson Kobolds enter, get clamped, die to state-based actions, return via Enduring Renewal, and repeat the loop for free. Every iteration draws two cards and triggers anything watching for ETBs, deaths, or storm count. Red-white storm and Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle shells are the natural homes — the color identity is narrow but the engine is airtight.

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
Drop Auriok Steelshaper only if another equip-cost reducer like Sigarda's Aid or Puresteel Paladin is already in the list; without the 0-cost equip, the loop costs 1 per cycle and stops being infinite. Aetherflux Reservoir is the standard closer here — the near-infinite storm count kills the table immediately, and white tutors like Enlightened Tutor or Steelseeker find whichever piece is missing.
