Rootha, Mercurial Artist copies Jeska's Will each iteration by bouncing itself for 2, while Storm-Kiln Artist converts each spell cast into a Treasure that funds Rootha's recast at 1UR. Alchemist's Refuge is the critical enabler — paying GU to grant flash means the whole engine runs at instant speed, catching opponents off guard at end of turn. The opponent needing four or more cards in hand gates Jeska's Will's mana mode, so the combo is live the moment an opponent holds a full grip.

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
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
The combo folds if Rootha or Storm-Kiln Artist is answered in response to the first Jeska's Will activation — redundancy through Dualcaster Mage can copy the spell without needing the bounce loop. The library exile is the payoff, not just the mana; pair with any instant-speed finisher in the exile window — Grapeshot, Aetherflux Reservoir, or Walking Ballista all close from the exiled pile.
