Valley Floodcaller's trigger fires every time a creature spell is cast, untapping Birds of Paradise and returning value in the form of +1/+1 counters on Otters, Frogs, Rats, and Birds; Mystic Forge lets Sensei's Divining Top be cast off the top of the library for its own activation, and Birds of Paradise funds the one mana each cycle. The combo sits naturally in Atraxa, Praetors' Voice or Chulane, Teller of Tales shells that already want Mystic Forge and Sensei's Divining Top for top-deck manipulation.

Valley Floodcaller triggers, giving Birds, Otters, Frogs and Rats you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Birchlore Rangers or Priest of Titania can replace Birds of Paradise as the mana source if they can tap for green and aren't sick, though Birds is the cleanest one-mana untap target Valley Floodcaller rewards. The loop draws the library but doesn't close the game alone — pair it with Thassa's Oracle or Lab Man as a win condition, since near-infinite storm count without a payoff is just a long turn.
