Every Sol Ring cast fires Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle to return Scrap Trawler from the graveyard; sacrificing Sol Ring to Bartolomé del Presidio triggers Scrap Trawler to recur any zero-mana artifact, and sacrificing Scrap Trawler returns Sol Ring to restart the loop. The combo runs out of a Teshar commander slot naturally — white-black artifact shells that already run Scrap Trawler and Sol Ring find the fourth piece in Bartolomé with minimal deckbuilding cost.

  5. When Sol Ring leaves the battlefield, Scrap Trawler triggers, returning any mana value 0 artifact from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  6. Resolve the Bartolomé del Presidio ability.
  7. Activate Bartolomé del Presidio by sacrificing Scrap Trawler.
  8. When Scrap Trawler dies, it triggers, returning Sol Ring from your graveyard to the battlefield.

  10. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite colorless mana; Infinite +1/+1 counters on a creature

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any zero-mana artifact — Ornithopter, Memnite, Tormod's Crypt — slots into the Scrap Trawler return trigger to keep the loop intact if the graveyard runs thin. Infinite counters on Bartolomé del Presidio don't kill the table alone; pair the engine with Disciple of the Vault for infinite drain or Altar of the Brood for infinite mill to close the game.
