What creatures in Gruul (if any) can Protean Hulk tutor up to create an infinite combo?

This is assuming nothing else about the board state, commander, or cards in hand.
I initially thought it could do this with Combat Celebrant + Seeker of Skybreak , but I was wrong. Where else might I look?
Thanks!
That's what my question is, tho - which ones would they be?
Currently, I've not yet been able to find any in Gruul colors.

You could get Combat Celebrant and Eternal Witness letting you replay hulk (assuming you can save him twice) which then lets you get Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker who does combo with celebrant. You're still looking at a lot of mana but if you used something like Starved Rusalka as your sac outlet, you'd be in the 16 mana ballpark.

Kiki-Jiki is the only one I'm aware of in R/G that works with the Celebrant. You can do it with Aggravated Assault and Savage Ventmaw but obviously you need a way to tutor up the enchantment.

There is a combo in this list

There might be a better way to go about it now but that one works.

enpc, fascinating approach. Goblin Bombardment offers a sac-outlet at zero cost, so I guess the total would be 14 mana.
Still pretty expensive for a single turn, however. I suppose it could be split into 2 turns, tho.

enpc, actually, using Ashnods alter would reduce the mana cost by 2, bringing the total to 12 mana - which is more feasible.

Protean Hulk states "any number of creature cards with total converted mana cost 6 or less". so it can get 2 or more creatures, you just need to find some that make an infinite loop.
