Karn's Bastion proliferates at 4 mana, stacking a charge counter on Lost Jitte and two +1/+1 counters on Cryptic Trilobite simultaneously; Cryptic Trilobite converts those two counters into 4 ability-only mana, and Lost Jitte cashes a charge counter to untap Karn's Bastion and restart the loop. Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11 is the green commander gluing these pieces together, and the engine lives entirely on activated abilities — no spell-casting required after setup.

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 needs Lost Jitte entering with at least one counter to start; Doubling Season or Ozolith, the Shattered Spire help guarantee that on entry. Infinite proliferate without a payoff is just bookkeeping — Grateful Apparition, Chisei, Heart of Oceans, or any -1/-1 counter threat already on board converts the loop into a board wipe or a kill.
