Color Identity: B

Initial Card State

  1.  The One Ring in your graveyard.
  2.  All other permanents on the battlefield.

Easy Prerequisites

  1. You have one generic mana available, a burden counter on Trazyn or an additional card in hand.
  2. Trazyn doesn't have summoning sickness.

Steps

  1. Activate Trazyn using The One Ring's ability by tapping it, putting a burden counter on it and drawing a card for each burden counter on it.
  2. Activate Skirge Familiar twice by discarding two cards, adding one black manaone black mana.
  3. Activate Voltaic Construct by paying two generic mana, untapping Trazyn.
  4. Repeat.

Notes

  1. For the first loop, in step 2, you can either discard an additional card for one black mana or provide one generic mana if Trazyn starts without a burden counter on it. On subsequent loops, this won't be an issue.

Results

  1. Infinite draw triggers.
  2. Near-infinite black mana.
  3. Near-infinite card draw.
  4. Near-infinite looting.
  5. Near-infinite self-discard triggers.
