Karn's Bastion proliferates and loads Cryptic Trilobite with two +1/+1 counters; Trilobite converts those counters into four colorless ability-activation mana, and Lost Jitte spends one charge counter to untap the Bastion and reset the loop. Kami of Whispered Hopes is the linchpin — it makes Cryptic Trilobite's mana output match or exceed the 4 needed to activate Karn's Bastion, which is why the loop collapses without it on the battlefield.

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

Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider doubles counters placed and halves the setup threshold, but is not required. The infinite proliferate closes games through Walking Ballista already on the battlefield, a planeswalker ultimated on the same turn, or any poison counter sitting on opponents — the engine proliferates everything, so the kill condition is whatever counter-based threat was already in play.
