Help me complete an infinite combo
Modern forum

(I think these are all modern cards, and though I'm really not sure, I put it in this forum anyways.)
I'm trying to make a land sacrifice, recast, resacrifice infinite combo, so far, this is all I have, but it is incomplete (If I could use Femme_Fatale's card, it would be so much easier). Please help me
Crucible of Worlds to cast the lands from the graveyard
Summer Bloom as a way to make sure I can cast the cards
Isochron Scepter as a way to recast Summer Bloom (maybe Elite Arcanist can work instead?)
Some way to untap the scepter (Filigree Sages ? Triton Tactics for arcanist? I realize that double arcanists, one with tactics and one with bloom could work, but the chances? Lets keep that as a backup.)
Maybe some things just to get it started like Oracle of Mul Daya or Azusa, Lost but Seeking .
Obviously, once the combo works, landfall abuse as well as a possible infinite mana dump would be easy to find. I also don't really want this to just turn into a Kiora's Follower combo.
Thanks everybody!
So...provided you have a consistent way to convert your four-card combo into playing Summer Bloom and then getting your Isochron Scepter untapped with enough mana to play Summer Bloom again....you're adding in a 5th card to be a way to sacrifice your lands to play them again, and the whole thing has to be mana-positive when you're done a cycle so you can use a 6th card to do something with the mana?
How are you even getting lands -into- the graveyard to play with Summer Bloom ?

And more to the point, as Aelorith2117 says, why go through all these somersaults to generate infinite mana when there's a perfectly stable 2nd/3rd turn infinite mana combo already laying around that only uses 2 cards?

I forgot to mention Zuran Orb as my land sacrificer.
@Devonin- massive card combos that will never happen, in my opinion, are so much more fun than stable ones.
However, you guys are both right when saying that this won't work (nothing recurs sorceries.
Thanks

The closest combo that I can think of is Fastbond , Zuran Orb , and Crucible of Worlds , which is not even legacy legal.

In addition to neither Isochron Scepter nor Elite Arcanist being able to work with Summer Bloom , Zuran Orb isn't modern legal, so at best this would be a legacy combo. It could work in legacy using Panoptic Mirror to imprint Summer Bloom onto though.

Isochron Scepter only works on instants and Summer Bloom is a sorcery so Elite Arcanist is you're only shot. In terms of the Filigree Sages you could use Bloom Tender + Freed from the Real to make infinite mana. How are you getting the lands to the graveyard in the first place?
