Flubs, the Fool triggers whenever a spell is cast, replacing the draw with Words of Wind's bounce effect; Sol Ring and Grim Monolith alternate as the cast targets, each funding the next activation while returning themselves to hand. The loop requires an empty hand to start — each Flubs trigger fires in place of a draw, so any card in hand short-circuits the chain before it begins. The end state is a clean board wipe of all opposing permanents, which in most games is a functional lock.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The empty-hand prerequisite is the real constraint; artifact draw-emptiers like Sensei's Divining Top or Scroll Rack help dig to pieces while emptying hand on cue. No substitute exists for Flubs as the trigger engine, but Words of Wind can be replaced by Evacuation effects as a one-shot board clear if the loop isn't available — though that line doesn't go infinite. Pair the infinite colorless with Walking Ballista or Basalt Monolith plus Rings of Brighthearth as a second win condition if the bounce lock isn't enough to close.
