Phyrexian Altar converts Eternal Witness and one other nontoken creature into exactly the white and colorless mana Continue? costs; Continue? returns both creatures from the graveyard, and Eternal Witness's ETB trigger puts Continue? back in hand. The loop demands a rotating cast of nontoken creatures to sacrifice each cycle, but any green-white creature-based shell — Trostani, Selvala, or a token-heavy Rhys the Redeemed list — already runs the bodies needed to sustain it.

How it works

Prerequisites

You control another nontoken creature. You can sacrifice up to two additional creatures each loop to net mana.

Steps

Activate Phyrexian Altar by sacrificing Eternal Witness and another nontoken creature, adding .
Cast Continue? by paying , returning Eternal Witness and at least one other creature from your graveyard to the battlefield.
When Eternal Witness enters, it triggers, returning Continue? from your graveyard to your hand.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite colored mana; Infinite death triggers; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite recursion of creatures you control; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite storm count

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Eternal Witness is the linchpin here; Timeless Witness is a strictly functional substitute if redundancy matters, and Augur of Autumn or Temur Sabertooth can set up cleaner access to the pieces. The loop produces infinite storm count and mana but no built-in kill — Altar of the Brood mills the table on each ETB, and Impact Tremors or Purphur... actually, in GW specifically, reach for Sunscorched Divide or a large Walking Ballista to close.
