Sensei's Divining Top draws a card and returns itself to the library, then Elsha of the Infinite lets it be cast again immediately for 1 — Birds of Paradise pays that mana and untaps each iteration via Valley Floodcaller's triggered ability. The loop requires Elsha as the commander and both artifacts plus Birds in play, making it a tight but tutor-accessible package in RGWU spellslinger shells that already want Sensei's Divining Top for topdeck manipulation.

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 .
Elsha of the Infinite's prowess ability and Valley Floodcaller trigger.
Resolve the Valley Floodcaller trigger, giving Birds, Otters, Frogs and Rats you control +1/+1 until end of turn and untapping them.
Resolve the Elsha of the Infinite trigger, giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
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; Near-infinitely large creature until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any other mana creature that produces at least 1 colorless or generic-payable mana and belongs to the Birds, Otters, Frogs, or Rats creature type can replace Birds of Paradise — but that type list is short, so Birds is the practical choice. Once the library is drawn, Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir converts the storm count into the kill; the loop itself generates no direct damage.
