Jan Jansen, Chaos Crafter converts sacrificed artifact creatures into Treasure tokens, then converts Treasure into 1/1 Construct tokens; Mycosynth Lattice makes those Treasures artifact creatures so Dross Scorpion triggers on their deaths and untaps Jan Jansen to repeat the cycle. Equipping Skullclamp to any 1/1 Construct costs one mana, draws two cards, and triggers Dross Scorpion again — the loop sustains itself as long as the first sacrificed creature seeds it. The table will see an artifact-tribal shell, most likely helmed by Jan Jansen himself, assemble four specific permanents before the engine goes live.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The dependency on Mycosynth Lattice is the combo's real vulnerability — drop it for Ashnod's Altar or Krark-Clan Ironworks if the payoff is mana rather than draw. Once the library is in hand, Aetherflux Reservoir is the clean Mardu closer; Goblin Bombardment converts the near-infinite death triggers into direct damage without needing to empty the deck first.
