Ghostly Flicker blinks Mystic Sanctuary and Sol Ring together for exactly 2U; Sol Ring's untap refunds the colorless portion, Mystic Sanctuary's ETB puts Ghostly Flicker back on top, and the loop runs forever. The Lunar Whale is the gating condition — its effect lets Ghostly Flicker be cast from the library in the first place, so without a combat step earlier in the turn, the engine never starts.

How it works

Prerequisites

The Lunar Whale has attacked this turn. 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 , 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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Peregrine Drake replaces Sol Ring as the mana piece in lists that want redundancy — it produces more than enough floating mana on its own when blinked. For the kill, pair the infinite magecraft triggers with Archmage Emeritus to draw the deck, or drop Aetherflux Reservoir to convert infinite storm count into a table wipe.
