Fluctuator reduces Drifting Meadow's cycling cost to zero, making each activation free; Bone Miser converts that discard into two black mana, and Escape Protocol spends one of it to blink Eternal Witness, who retrieves Drifting Meadow from the graveyard. The loop is self-sustaining as long as all five permanents stay on the battlefield — removal on any one piece collapses it entirely, which is the real fragility tax on a 5-card combo.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any other zero-cost cycling land under Fluctuator — Barren Moor, Lonely Sandbar, Tranquil Thicket — substitutes for Drifting Meadow as the discard engine. Sink the infinite black mana into Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire as the closer; the loop draws the library but needs a payoff that cashes in mana or the card-draw volume.
