Rootha, Mercurial Artist bounces itself for 2 to copy Jeska's Will; Storm-Kiln Artist prints a Treasure on each copy, which pays Rootha's recast cost, and Kianne, Corrupted Memory exiles cards from the library with each iteration because Kianne's power is odd. The prerequisites have teeth — an opponent needs four or more cards in hand, Kianne's power must be odd, and a commander on the battlefield is required to select both of Jeska's Will's modes simultaneously, which is what makes the mana loop self-sustaining.

How it works

Prerequisites

Kianne's power is odd. An opponent has four or more cards in hand. If you control a commander, you can choose both of Jeska's Will's modes if desired.

Storm-Kiln Artist triggers, creating a Treasure token.

Holding priority, activate Rootha by paying and returning it from the battlefield to your hand, copying Jeska's Will.
Storm-Kiln Artist triggers, creating a Treasure token.
Resolve the Jeska's Will copy, adding at least .
Activate a Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
Cast Rootha by paying .
Repeat from step 4.

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

The combo is narrower than it looks: losing any one of the four pieces collapses the loop entirely, and the hand-size prerequisite hands opponents a way to disrupt setup by emptying their own hands. Swap Kianne for any other magecraft payoff like Archmage Emeritus to draw the library instead if the exile line is redundant — the storm count and infinite mana are the real prizes here, and Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir closes the game cleanly.
