Karn, Silver Golem animates Sol Ring for 1 colorless so Grinding Station can sacrifice it; Salvaging Station untaps on Sol Ring's death trigger and immediately returns it to the battlefield, which untaps Grinding Station and restarts the loop. The whole engine sits at colorless identity, which means Karn as commander is the natural home — every piece is an artifact, every piece is tutorable with Transmute Artifact, Reshape, or Inventors' Fair.

Result
Infinite colorless mana; Infinite death triggers; Infinite LTB; Infinite mill; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite self-mill
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Any 0-cost artifact replaces Sol Ring as the sacrifice fodder — Mox Opal, Lotus Petal, or Ornithopter all satisfy the loop and cut the 1-mana activation cost from Karn entirely, removing the only mana requirement after setup. If the mill result isn't the kill, redirect it to self-mill and pair with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries or Thassa's Oracle as the closer.
