Locus of Enlightenment copies Deserted Temple's untap ability each time it activates, letting the Temple retarget Temple of the False God while untapping itself. The net result per loop is two colorless from Temple of the False God minus the one paid into Deserted Temple, meaning the engine runs positive and repeats indefinitely. It lives entirely in the land base, so counterspells that hit spells on the stack can't interact with the loop mid-assembly.

How it works

Prerequisites

You control at least five lands. Once you have infinite mana, you may untap any other land except Temple of the False God instead.

Steps

Activate Temple of the False God by tapping it, adding .
Activate Deserted Temple's second ability by paying and tapping it, targeting itself.
Locus of Enlightenment triggers, copying Deserted Temple's ability, targeting Temple of the False God.
Resolve both Deserted Temple abilities, untapping it and Temple of the False God.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite mana lands you control can produce; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite untap of lands you control

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Once the loop produces infinite mana, Locus of Enlightenment can redirect the copy to untap any other land instead of Temple of the False God, expanding what the mana base produces. The combo has no built-in kill — pair it with a blue outlet like Thassa's Oracle, Blue Sun's Zenith, or Walking Ballista if the commander shell supports it; infinite colorless alone doesn't close the game.
