The One Ring taps to draw cards equal to its burden counters, and Mind Over Matter discards one of those drawn cards to untap it immediately; each iteration adds a burden counter, so the draw count grows with every loop. The engine lives in mono-blue and blue-heavy artifact shells — Urza, Lord High Artificer and Emry, Lurker of the Loch both tutor or enable the pieces and turn the near-infinite mana into a same-turn win.

How it works

Prerequisites

Steps

Activate The One Ring by tapping it, putting a burden counter on it and then causing you to draw a card for each burden counter on it.
Activate Mind Over Matter by discarding a card, untapping The One Ring.
Repeat.

Result

Near-infinite card draw; Infinite self-discard triggers; Infinite draw triggers; Infinite looting; Near-infinite untap of permanents you control; Near-infinite mana permanents you control can produce

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Dramatic Reversal on Isochron Scepter covers the untap role if Mind Over Matter is countered, though it requires mana-positive rocks rather than a discard outlet. Pair the loop with Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries as the closer — drawing your library doesn't win without a payoff, and both resolve off the blue mana the rocks generate mid-loop.
