Peregrine Drake + Ghostly Flicker + Archaeomancer = infinite mana, infinite storm

Bonus Round + Dramatic Reversal + Narset's Reversal = infinite mana & copies

Isochron Scepter + Snap + Dramatic Reversal + Lithoform Engine + Dimir Aqueduct Or Izzet Boilerworks & any other mana producing land = Infinite mana, creature bounces & storm

---

Barrin, Master Wizard + Dockside Extortionist = Infinite ETB, LTB, Colored Mana, Storm count and Sacrifice Triggers.

Frantic Search + Narset's Reversal + Primal Amulet   = infinite storm, draw and colored mana.

Desperate Ritual + Reiterate + Bonus Round = infinite storm + 6 red mana at combo's end (for grapeshot).

Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Peregrine Drake = infinite storm and infinite mana - Requires creatures to be on board.

Cabal Ritual or Desperate Ritual + Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal + Lithoform Engine = infinite storm and infinite mana (chosen by ritual).
