Hidetsugu and Kairi's death trigger draws three and puts Clone Legion back on top; the exile trigger then casts it for free, which clones both Hidetsugu and Kairi and Eternal Witness. Eternal Witness returns Clone Legion to hand as a safety valve, but the exile cast is what keeps the engine running without spending additional mana after the initial 7UU. The result is near-infinite opponent life loss — 9 per loop — stapled to infinite draw and ETB triggers in a Sultai shell.

Prerequisites

Steps

Cast Clone Legion by paying , causing you to create a token copy of Hidetsugu and Kairi and Eternal Witness.
Put the token Hidetsugu and Kairi into your graveyard due to the legend rule.
The Hidetsugu and Kairi token's first and second abilities trigger, as well as Eternal Witness.
Resolve the Eternal Witness trigger, returning Clone Legion from your graveyard to your hand.
Resolve the first Hidetsugu and Kairi trigger, causing you to draw three cards and then put Clone Legion and another card on top of your library, ensuring Clone Legion is on top.
Resolve the second Hidetsugu and Kairi trigger, exiling Clone Legion from the top of your library, then causing an opponent to lose 9 life and allowing you to cast Clone Legion from exile without paying its mana cost.
Resolve Clone Legion, causing you to create a token copy of Hidetsugu and Kairi and Eternal Witness.
Repeat from step 2.

Result

Infinite card draw; Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite copies of creatures you control; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinite death triggers; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite lifeloss; Near-infinite LTB; Near-infinite magecraft triggers; Near-infinite storm count

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness can swap for Greenwarden of Murasa if graveyard hate forces redundancy, though the six-mana body is harder to clone into a clean loop on turn one. The combo needs no external kill condition — 9 life lost per iteration ends the table on its own — but any magecraft payoff like Archmage Emeritus or storm payoff like Thousand-Year Storm stacks additional value onto each Clone Legion cast.
