Frantic Search + Kitsa, Otterball Elite + Minamo, School at Water's Edge + Temple of the False God
4-card combo · U
Verdict
Yes — this 4-piece loop generates infinite looting and near-infinite magecraft triggers in mono-blue, though the setup bar is steep enough to limit it to dedicated Kitsa shells.

Frantic Search's built-in untap clause refunds its own cost through Temple of the False God and a second land; Kitsa copies the spell on the stack via prowess trigger, and Minamo untaps Kitsa to copy again every iteration. The whole engine lives or dies on Kitsa staying alive — it's the only creature in the loop, and any removal in response to the copy activation collapses the chain immediately.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Any land that taps for two or more colorless substitutes for Temple of the False God in the mana step — Ancient Tomb is the cleanest upgrade. The loop draws cards but doesn't kill on its own; Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries closes it once the library is empty, and Aetherflux Reservoir converts the magecraft storm count into lethal damage.
