Karn's Bastion proliferates onto Lost Jitte and loads Cryptic Trilobite with two +1/+1 counters each cycle; those counters immediately convert to four restricted mana that refuels the next activation, and Lost Jitte cashes a charge counter to untap the Bastion and restart the loop. Caradora, Heart of Alacria sits as the commander most likely to helm this, since green-white proliferate strategies already want Karn's Bastion and Cryptic Trilobite independently. The combo asks for four mana up front and two specific counter states to be live before it goes infinite.

How it works

Prerequisites

Lost Jitte has at least one charge counter on it. Cryptic Trilobite has at least one +1/+1 counter on it.

Steps

Activate Karn's Bastion by paying , putting a charge counter on Lost Jitte and two +1/+1 counters on Cryptic Trilobite.
Activate Cryptic Trilobite's first ability twice by removing two +1/+1 counters from it, adding that can only be spent to activate abilities.
Activate Lost Jitte by removing a charge counter from it, untapping Karn's Bastion.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite proliferate

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop is self-contained but kills nothing on its own — pair infinite proliferate with a single creature carrying +1/+1 counters, a planeswalker near an ultimate, or Ozolith to redirect the storm. Resourceful Defense is a natural redundancy piece in the same shell, keeping counters relevant even when pieces are removed before the loop assembles.
