4-card combo · B

Verdict

Yes — this 4-card loop draws the library and generates near-infinite death triggers in any black sacrifice shell that can field a 1-toughness creature.

Skullclamp kills a 1-toughness creature as a state-based action the moment it's equipped; Pitiless Plunderer responds by making a Treasure and a 1/1 Thopter, which is itself the next 1-toughness body for the Clamp. The Treasure cashes out for the 1 mana Skullclamp costs to re-equip, making every loop free. Geth, Thane of Contracts rounds out the four-card configuration, but the engine's real dependency is Pitiless Plunderer producing the Thopter — that's what sustains the loop.

How it works

Prerequisites

You control a creature with toughness equal to 1.

Steps

Activate Skullclamp by paying , attaching it to a creature with toughness equal to 1.
The creature dies as a state-based action due to having 0 or less toughness, triggering Skullclamp and Pitiless Plunderer.
Resolve the Skullclamp trigger, causing you to draw two cards.
Resolve the Pitiless Plunderer trigger, creating a Treasure token and a 1/1 Thopter artifact creature token.
Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite card draw; Near-infinite ETB; Infinite draw triggers; Near-infinite LTB; Near-infinite death triggers; Near-infinite sacrifice triggers

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Chatterstorm or Bitterblossom can seed the initial 1-toughness body, but any 1/1 token producer in the deck covers that prerequisite. Disciple of the Vault or Blood Artist converts the infinite death triggers into a table kill — without one, the loop draws the library and creates tokens but stops short of actually winning.
