Displacer Kitten blinks Pinnacle Monk on every noncreature spell cast; Pinnacle Monk's enters-the-battlefield trigger returns whichever of the two spells just resolved to hand, setting up the next cast. Dark Ritual funds Frantic Search, which untaps the lands that cover Dark Ritual's cost, keeping the loop self-sustaining with three blue-producing lands in play.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop sits naturally in a Kess, Dissident Mage shell, which can also cast from the graveyard directly and removes some of the setup fragility. As written the combo produces near-infinite storm rather than a clean kill — Grapeshot closes it immediately, and Brain Freeze mills all opponents with the storm count before it resets.
