Casting Sol Ring off the top of any curve triggers Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle to return Scrap Trawler from the graveyard; from there, Extruder sacrifices Sol Ring to put a counter on a creature, Scrap Trawler recurs a zero-cost artifact, and sacrificing Scrap Trawler itself returns Sol Ring to restart the loop. Every pass through nets two colorless mana, a death trigger, an ETB trigger, and a +1/+1 counter — the kind of engine that closes games the turn it assembles in Teshar or Breya-adjacent white artifact decks.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite +1/+1 counters on creatures you control

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any zero-mana artifact in the graveyard feeds the Scrap Trawler return trigger, so the loop is resilient to incidental yard disruption as long as one zero-drop remains. Walking Ballista is the natural kill — it enters with counters already stacked from the loop itself; Altar of the Brood or Disciple of the Vault converts the infinite ETBs and deaths into a win without needing Extruder to place the counters manually.
