Elsha of the Infinite lets Ghostly Flicker cast off the top of the library; Mystic Sanctuary's enter-the-battlefield trigger puts it back on top every loop, and Sol Ring plus Mystic Sanctuary together pay the 2U each iteration. The three-Island requirement is the real constraint — this is a Jeskai spellslinger build that already wants a deep Island count, so it fits naturally into Elsha as commander.

How it works

Prerequisites

You control three additional Islands.

Steps

Activate Mystic Sanctuary and Sol Ring by tapping them, adding .
Cast Ghostly Flicker either from your hand or from the top of your library by paying .
Elsha's prowess ability triggers, giving it +1/+1 until end of turn.
Resolve Ghostly Flicker, blinking Mystic Sanctuary and Sol Ring.
When Mystic Sanctuary enters untapped, it triggers, putting Ghostly Flicker from your graveyard onto the top of your library.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite storm count; Infinite magecraft triggers; Infinite landfall triggers; Infinitely large creature until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Archeomancer or Salvager of Secrets can sub for Mystic Sanctuary's recursion role if Island density is a problem, though both require an extra blink target and add a fifth piece. The loop needs a payoff beyond a large Elsha — Aetherflux Reservoir closes on storm count, and Aria of Flame or Guttersnipe converts the infinite spell count into direct damage without needing combat.
