Auriok Steelshaper reduces Skullclamp's equip cost to zero on Impulsive Pilferer, a 1/1; the moment the Clamp lands, Pilferer dies to the -1/-1 reduction, draws 2, and Koll returns it to hand. The Treasure Pilferer leaves behind pays the one red to recast it, making the loop self-sustaining with all four pieces on the battlefield.

Result

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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Koll is the non-negotiable piece — he's both the commander slot and the glue that recurs Pilferer without a tutor. Any other 1/1 creature pairs with Skullclamp and Auriok Steelshaper to find the same zero-equip death loop, but Pilferer is the only creature that generates the mana to recast itself; drop it for a Goblin Sharpshooter or Reckless Fireweaver if the goal is converting infinite draw into a kill rather than closing with storm count.
