Clock of Omens + Liquimetal Torque + Magda, Brazen Outlaw

Overview
Make Magda an artifact with Liquimetal Torque (its {T} activation), then use Clock of Omens’ “Tap two untapped artifacts you control:” cost to tap Magda (a Dwarf) and one other untapped artifact; when Magda is tapped she triggers and creates a Treasure (Ruling [2021-02-05]). Because Clock’s ability does not include the tap symbol {T}, you can activate it regardless of whether Clock is tapped, and Clock’s effect can untap Liquimetal Torque so you can tap Liquimetal Torque and Magda again to repeat the process; this produces arbitrarily many Treasures while the effect making Magda an artifact lasts (see and Ruling [2021-02-05]).
Step 1
Have Clock of Omens, Liquimetal Torque, and Magda, Brazen Outlaw under your control, with Magda untapped.
Step 2
Activate Liquimetal Torque’s second ability by paying its cost (tap Liquimetal Torque) targeting Magda; Liquimetal Torque’s ability resolves and Magda becomes an artifact in addition to her other types until end of turn (this taps Liquimetal Torque as part of that ability’s cost) .
Step 3
Activate Clock of Omens’ ability by paying its cost: tap two untapped artifacts you control. Choose Magda (now an artifact) and another untapped artifact you control as the two artifacts you tap to pay the cost. Tapping Magda causes Magda to change from untapped to tapped, which triggers Magda’s Treasure-creating ability (Ruling [2021-02-05]).
Step 4
When Clock of Omens’ ability resolves it untaps the target artifact you chose. Select Liquimetal Torque (or whichever artifact you tapped earlier and want untapped). Liquimetal Torque becomes untapped on resolution (this is not the untap step; it is the effect of the ability) .
Step 5
At this point Magda’s triggered ability is on the stack and will create a Treasure when it resolves (assuming nothing counters or replaces it), and Liquimetal Torque is untapped so you can tap it again as needed.
Step 6
Repeat: With Liquimetal Torque untapped and Magda untapped (Magda is untapped because you chose not to leave her tapped or because the untap target was different in previous step), you can pay Clock’s cost again by tapping Magda and Liquimetal Torque; each time Magda changes from untapped to tapped you get another Treasure (Ruling [2021-02-05]).
Resolution
If you make Magda an artifact (Liquimetal Torque’s {T} ability targeting Magda), you can repeatedly activate Clock of Omens, each time tapping Magda and another untapped artifact (for example Liquimetal Torque) to pay Clock’s cost. Each time Magda actually changes from untapped to tapped it triggers and creates a Treasure (Ruling [2021-02-05]). Clock’s untap effect can untap Liquimetal Torque so you can tap it again next iteration. This produces an indefinite loop creating one Treasure per iteration while Magda remains an artifact until end of turn, assuming no replacement or prevention effects intervene (see and Ruling [2021-02-05]).
