Zirda, the Dawnwaker cuts Sunforger's activation cost to 2 and Tomb Trawler's to 2, which is what makes the arithmetic work: Jeska's Will funds the loop with six or more red, Big Score draws two and creates two Treasures to pay for Tomb Trawler, and Tomb Trawler recycles both instants back into the library for the next Sunforger pull. The whole engine lives in Boros, a color identity that rarely gets repeatable draw, so the payoff is real despite the setup cost.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent has six or more cards in hand.

Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite storm count; Near-infinite self-discard triggers; Near-infinite magecraft triggers; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite red mana

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The opponent-hand requirement is the real fragility here — a table that empties hands fast can lock the loop out entirely, so build in a Windfall or Wheel of Fortune effect to reload opponents if needed. Smothering Tithe is the natural add in Boros to generate Treasures redundantly and ease the mana requirements. For the kill, dump the accumulated red into Aetherflux Reservoir or channel the storm count into Grapeshot — Sunforger can tutor either in supplementary activations once the loop is established.
