Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle is the engine: every historic spell cast pulls Scrap Trawler back from the graveyard, and Scrap Trawler's death trigger chains Sol Ring back into play to cast again. Ravenous Intruder grows without bound off the loop while also acting as the sacrifice outlet, so the kill condition is already built into the four pieces — no fifth card needed.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Salvage Scout can sub in as a second Teshar-adjacent recursion piece if Scrap Trawler is exiled, though it costs white mana each activation and slows the loop considerably. Phyrexian Altar replaces Ravenous Intruder as sacrifice outlet if the combat kill is unavailable, though that line loses the infinitely large attacker and needs a separate drain effect like Zulaport Cutthroat or Reckless Fireweaver to close.
