Simic Growth Chamber and a Gift of Paradise host land together produce enough mana to cast Snap, bounce Eternal Witness, and replay everything each cycle; Ivy copies Snap to untap the lands a second time per loop, netting mana with each iteration. The result is infinite storm count, infinite magecraft triggers, and infinite ETB and LTB events off Eternal Witness and Ivy themselves. Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief commanders or Simic spell-copy shells are the natural home, since Ivy needs to be in the command zone or otherwise consistently in play to close the loop.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo is tight on substitutions — Gift of Paradise is load-bearing as the mana enchantment on the bounce-back land, and Snap is the only 2-mana bounce that untaps two lands as part of the cost. Once mana goes infinite, outlet options are wide open: Thassa's Oracle empties the library immediately, and Walking Ballista converts the mana into a table kill.
