Encroaching Mycosynth is the linchpin: it makes Treasures into artifact creatures, which means Skullclamp can kill them for two cards apiece and Dross Scorpion untaps Jan Jansen off every death. The loop feeds itself — Jan Jansen converts one Treasure into two Construct tokens, the Constructs die to Skullclamp, each death resets Jan Jansen, and the Treasure used to pay the equip cost is the only resource consumed per cycle.

Infinite card draw; Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite death triggers; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite LTB
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Blinkmoth Urn or a dense mana-rock base can replace the Treasure-as-mana step if the equip cost ever feels pinched. Any commander that runs Jan Jansen as the commander itself — typically a Breya, Etherium Shaper or Tymna the Weaver shell — wants Aetherflux Reservoir or Reckless Fireweaver as the closer once the library is empty, since infinite draw alone doesn't end the game.
