How many activations to draw your library?

The One Ring puts a burden counter on itself and draws a card for each one, one more every time, and discarding two cards to Skirge Familiar for Voltaic Construct's two generic mana untaps it. The burden counters stay, and at your upkeep you lose 1 life for each.
