Rootha, Mercurial Artist copies Jeska's Will each loop by bouncing itself for 2, and Storm-Kiln Artist turns that copy trigger into a Treasure to pay Rootha's recast cost of 1UR. Vivien, Champion of the Wilds enables casting Rootha at instant speed during the loop, which is the piece that stitches the whole sequence together — without flash, the chain collapses. The combo lives in a Temur spellslinger shell where both Artists are already pulling weight.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count; Infinite red mana; Infinite magecraft triggers; Exile your library with the ability to play the exiled cards until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swapping Vivien, Champion of the Wilds for any flash-enabler that reaches artifacts and creatures — Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir or Yeva, Nature's Herald in the right colors — preserves the core loop. The exile-your-library result is effectively the kill if Thassa's Oracle or a Grapeshot is anywhere in the deck; otherwise, line up a mana sink like Walking Ballista from among the exiled cards to close the game.
