Muldrotha, the Gravetide lets The One Ring be recast from the graveyard once per turn as the artifact permanent type; Krark-Clan Ironworks sacrifices it for 2 colorless, and the 4-mana recast resets the protection-from-everything trigger each upkeep. The table can't target the pilot, can't deal combat damage to them, and any engine that draws cards off The One Ring's burden counters turns the lock into a draw engine on top.

The loop is a soft lock, not a kill — it protects the pilot indefinitely but requires a separate win condition to close. Thassa's Oracle or Aetherflux Reservoir in the same Sultai shell converts the protection loop into a game-ending threat; without a closer, opponents with sacrifice effects or mass-bounce spells targeting their own permanents can still interact with the board outside the lock.
