Bringer of the White Dawn returns Coretapper from the graveyard at the start of each upkeep; Lightning Greaves re-equips for zero, granting shroud so Coretapper survives long enough to tap for one counter and sacrifice for two more. Three counters on Magistrate's Scepter triggers an extra turn, and the loop resets. The five-color identity restricts this to WUBRG commanders — Jodah, Archmage Eternal and The Ur-Dragon are the natural homes.

Result

Infinite turns; Lock

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Voltaic Construct plus any animated mana-producing artifact can supplement counter generation if Coretapper is exiled rather than in the graveyard. Magistrate's Scepter is the only extra-turn piece here, so Magistrate's Scepter is the primary removal target for opponents — protecting it with Padeem, Consul of Innovation or Swiftfoot Boots as a Lightning Greaves backup keeps the lock live.
