Sensei's Divining Top bounces itself back to the library and redraws for 1 mana; Valley Floodcaller triggers on every cast and untaps Birds of Paradise, which refunds that mana and keeps the loop running. The combo sits inside Simic creature-based shells — Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer or Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait style decks that already want Magus of the Future as a Future Sight effect and Birds of Paradise as ramp.

How it works

Prerequisites

Birds of Paradise does not have summoning sickness.

Steps

Activate Birds of Paradise by tapping it, adding .
Activate Sensei's Divining Top's second ability by tapping it, causing you to draw a card and put Sensei's Divining Top from the battlefield onto the top of your library.
Cast Sensei's Divining Top from the top of your library by paying .
Valley Floodcaller triggers, giving Birds, Otters, Frogs and Rats you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite card draw; Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite storm count; Near-infinite power and toughness for certain creatures until end of turn; Near-infinite untap of some creatures you control

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Future Sight can replace Magus of the Future for an enchantment-based version that dodges creature removal mid-loop, though it costs 5 mana to establish. The loop draws the library but doesn't kill on its own — close with Thassa's Oracle, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or the near-infinite power on Valley Floodcaller attacking through an open board.
