Sekki, Seasons' Guide. Together with Blasting Station can be infinite deaths/creatures entering the battlefield. Problem is, the only ways I can think to use this require other colors, like Purphoros, God of the Forge or Blood Artist. What options are there in green or artifacts that care about creatures entering or leaving the battlefield?
I've got Altar of the Brood. Anything else?

Any token doubling cards: Parallel Lives, Primal Vigor, Doubling Season.

Doesn't the combo need Doubling Season/Parallel Lives/Primal Vigor to go infinite? Correct if I am wrong, but doesn't it just remove 8 counters from Sekki? You need 8 more token to return her? Anyway... here are some cards:
Essence Warden/Leyline of Vitality: Infinite life
Fecundity: Draw card
Death's Presence: Big creature(s)

I mean, best case scenario this will be a green Bravo, King Value deck. Or maybe not?
This seems better in the 99 of an Anafenza, the Foremost, Atraxa, Praetors' Voice or Experiment Kraj +1/+1 style deck, but if you really want him as a commander Champion of Lambholt seems good, Cream of the Crop?, Dual Nature, Parallel Lives, Primal Vigor, Doubling Season, Durable Handicraft, Essence Warden, Herd Gnarr, Ivy Lane Denizen, Triumph of Ferocity, Elemental Bond, Mighty Emergence, Soul of the Harvest, Death's Presence, Fecundity, guttergrime, Lumberknot, Sultai Flayer.
There you go, ETB and death triggers.

Second Harvest would be fun to play with this.
Also, Blasting Station + Sekki, Seasons' Guide makes the site recognize that it's a combo!

Phyrexian Altar or Ashnod's Altar could get you infinite mana

Vigor is an interesting thought...damage can only be prevented once so you'd have to choose each time to use vigor for more counters or sekki's own ability to make dudes....
Pariah's Shield Preferably with, but even without Vigor is just entertaining....
Thornbite Staff could easily be a second copy of Blasting Station (equiped to and used to target sekki itself) if you have Ashnod's Altar out (as well as +1/+1 counter and/or token doublers for either to work repeatedly)
Blade of the Bloodchief Sekki and any sac source, provided he doesn't take lethal dmg....
...and lots of goodstuffs listed in previous posts too..perhaps this is enough to start a decklist already ?

Yeah, this is seeming pretty fun. Thanks all for the ideas!
DarksteelBadger: So if Sekki, Seasons' Guide has eight counters on it, I tap Blasting Station, dealing one damage, which is prevented, making one spirit and removing one counter. BS untaps. Repeat until Sekki goes to grave, then sac 8 spirits, put Sekki back into play.
It doesn't gain me anything, but it does keep an infinite loop going. That's what the other cards are needed for.

@PhotogenicParasympathetic: Blasting Station requires you to sac a creature.

Huh. Wow. That's a thing that I skipped right over. I've even played with Blasting Station specifically to be a sac outlet in other decks, dunno how I missed that. Well, thanks for pointing that out!

Wait how is this not infinite damage on its own? The tap that kills sekki makes a token yes? So when sekki gets binned your blasting station is untapped, as a spirit will have just entered play. You ping anything for one with blasting station, then sac all 8 tokens and return sekki to play, uncapping the station to continue the loop. Shouldn't that already be an infinite damage combo which nets 1 damage per reincarnation of sekki?

DuTogira, what will you be sacrificing to activate Blasting Station's ping ability infinite times?

It was late last night... I completely missed that blasting station requires you to sac a creature, which is real bad considering that darksteelbadger had literally just pointed that out.

If you can generate infinite creatures, here's what i thought of in green and artefacts:-Bloodspore Thrinax(infinite x/x creatures)-essence warden + aetherflux reservoir(infinite life/dmg)-Thornbite staff(infite dmg)-Champion of Lambholt(infinite x/x creatures)-
