Displacer Kitten blinks Ancestral Statue every time a noncreature spell resolves; Ancestral Statue's enter-the-battlefield trigger bounces Sol Ring or Mana Vault back to hand, which gets recast to restart the cycle. The net mana gain each loop comes from Mana Vault producing 3 while costing 1 to recast, generating infinite colorless after enough rotations — any blue deck that already runs these rocks as ramp pieces assembles the combo incidentally.

Result

Infinite colorless mana; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Replace either mana rock with any artifact that produces more mana than it costs to cast — Basalt Monolith at 3 into 3 doesn't net, so stick to rocks with positive mana differential. Pair the loop with Walking Ballista or Aetherflux Reservoir as the kill; the infinite storm count also closes with Grapeshot if the deck runs a spellslinger shell.
