Agrus Kos, Eternal Soldier is the engine: every activated ability or triggered ability on your creatures gets copied for , turning Soulbright Flamekin's
pump into eight red mana per cycle and Felidar Guardian's blink into a multi-target flicker. Pinnacle Monk // Mystic Peak is the glue — each time it enters, it recovers Deflecting Swat from the graveyard, which then redirects the leftover Felidar Guardian trigger back to Agrus Kos to restart the loop. The table sees a Boros creature package that does nothing until Agrus Kos is on board, then wins through a single Felidar Guardian cast.

Result
Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count; Infinite red mana; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite blinking
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
The loop is tight and has no obvious single-card swap — Pinnacle Monk's specific ETB is load-bearing, and Deflecting Swat's free redirect is what keeps the Felidar Guardian trigger pointed at Agrus Kos each iteration. Infinite red mana without a built-in outlet means pairing this with a sink like Comet Storm or Aria of Flame; the storm count and magecraft triggers are only kills if a payoff is already in play. If Agrus Kos is answered at instant speed mid-loop the chain collapses, so Deflecting Swat should be held in reserve for protection rather than spent early.
