Zombie Infestation discards two to make a 2/2 Zombie; Garruk's Uprising and Garruk's Packleader each trigger on that Zombie entering — the first because it has power 2 or greater, the second because it's a beast-adjacent creature trigger — refunding both discarded cards and keeping the loop live. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite pumps the tokens to 4/4, which matters for Garruk's Uprising's trigger threshold and leaves a lethal board the turn the loop assembles.

How it works

Prerequisites

You have at least two cards in hand.

Steps

Activate Zombie Infestation by discarding two cards, creating a 2/2 Zombie creature token.
When the Zombie enters the battlefield, Garruk's Uprising and Garruk's Packleader trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers; Infinite rummaging; Infinite self-discard triggers; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinite ETB

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Garruk's Packleader can be cut if the deck runs Elemental Bond or Garruk's Uprising alone draws the replacement card at power 4 or greater — Elesh Norn's pump makes Uprising sufficient on its own, collapsing this to a 3-card loop. Close with the token swarm itself or add Purphoros, God of the Forge if the color identity allows — without a red finisher, the kill relies entirely on combat, which telegraphs the line a full turn early.
