Trazyn the Infinite copies activated abilities of artifact creatures in the graveyard, so Sol Ring and Pili-Pala only need to be dead, not in play alongside each other. Tap Trazyn as Sol Ring for 2 colorless, spend 2 to untap Trazyn as Pili-Pala adding any color, and the loop nets mana indefinitely. Black artifact-heavy shells running Trazyn as commander already want both pieces in the bin, making assembly straightforward.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Grand Architect replaces Pili-Pala's role in some lists by turning blue creatures into mana, but that requires a color identity shift — stick with Pili-Pala in mono-black. The loop produces mana but not a win condition; pair it with Exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire, or Walking Ballista to close the game once mana goes infinite.
