Panoptic Mirror imprints Ghostly Flicker; each upkeep its trigger fires, and Strionic Resonator copies that trigger for 2 mana paid from Sol Ring, casting a free Ghostly Flicker that blinks both Sol Ring and Strionic Resonator back untapped. The loop runs on its own at the start of every upkeep with no additional mana investment beyond the initial 2. Blue storm and magecraft commanders — Veyran, Voice of Duality or Niv-Mizzet, Parun in shells that splash red — get the most mileage, but the combo is mono-blue legal and lives in artifact-heavy Arcum Dagsson or Urza, Lord High Artificer lists too.

Result
Infinite storm count; Infinite magecraft triggers
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Panoptic Mirror can imprint any instant or sorcery the deck already wants; swapping Ghostly Flicker for Time Warp turns the loop into infinite extra turns instead of infinite storm. The combo produces no mana on its own and doesn't close the game without a payoff — Aetherflux Reservoir, Grapeshot, or a magecraft damage outlet like Archmage Emeritus filtering into a finisher is mandatory.
