Displacer Kitten blinks Mnemonic Wall every time a noncreature spell resolves, which means Dark Ritual and Frantic Search take turns recurring each other from the graveyard indefinitely. Frantic Search untaps the blue lands that paid into it, keeping the loop self-sustaining, while Dark Ritual covers Frantic Search's black pip each cycle. Any Dimir spellslinger commander — Nymris, Oona's Trickster, Kess, Dissident Mage, or Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow — slots this in as a clean draw-your-deck engine.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Mnemonic Wall is the slowest piece at 5 mana; Archaeomancer does the same job for 4 and is strictly easier to tutor. The loop loot exhausts itself before killing — pair it with Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries to close, since drawing the library is the natural endpoint of infinite looting.
