Liquimetal Torque converts Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter into an artifact so Dross Scorpion can untap him off each creature death; from there, Jan Jansen's two abilities alternate between generating Treasures and generating Construct tokens, while Skullclamp equips to each 1/1 Construct for a zero-toughness kill that draws two and untaps Jan Jansen again. The loop costs one mana per cycle — a Treasure pays the Skullclamp equip — and every iteration is net-positive in cards. The combo lives in Mardu artifact-sacrifice commanders: Breya, Etherium Shaper, Tymna and Kraum, or Jan Jansen himself at the helm.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

If Liquimetal Torque is unavailable, any effect that makes Jan Jansen an artifact fills the role — Mycosynth Lattice turns all permanents into artifacts at once and removes the per-turn dependency entirely. The loop draws the library but doesn't kill on the spot; pair it with Aetherflux Reservoir to convert the draw triggers into lethal damage, or Altar of Dementia to mill tables out.
