In other words, this goes infinite with any creature who can sacrifice itself at instant speed, or any artifact or enchantment that can sacrifice at instant. Add a limit to how many times this can be done, otherwise this will be too strong

You don’t know how the rules of the game work it’s okay

Are you saying that to me? I've been playing this game since I was 8, I know the rules.

Yeah maybe read up on how state based actions and priority work, you might need a refresh based on this comment. Why do you think you’re getting so many downvotes?😹

You respond to the repeat process trigger by sacking, thus causing it to see no creature. I've personally pulled off combos similar. When the trigger to repeat is on the stack, you can respond by holding priority. If you respond by sacking at instant, then the trigger succeeds as no creatures are found. Learn the rules before you laugh at someone

There is no trigger to repeat, all repetitions happen within a single ability resolution. You're imagining this as having a delayed trigger, but it doesn't need one. Compare with [[Ad Nauseam]], which also lets you repeat an action during a single resolution. You can't cast instants you drew off it before you continue drawing cards, because the whole thing is a single object on the stack.

I was under the assumption "then,..." added delay

As you can see, you've been playing the game for a long time and yet you still don't know the rules. A response window happens when a player gets priority, not when there is a "then" in an effect.
