Absolutely. Extremely Convoluted infinite mana/draw engine ahoy! I may no claims as to the playability of this, just as to it working by the rules and all the cards being standard legal. I am 100% sure there's a simpler way to do this, but this demonstrates that, if nothing else, it does exist.

Requires 4 colors (Black,Blue, White, Red). There's probably a way to do it in less. Axebane guardian + ferver as a replacement for the lotuses and torch fiends might be useful.

You need the following permanents in play to go infinite:
1x Bloodflow Connoisseur (or Bloodthrone Vampire, or any permanent that can sac another creature at will at no cost)
3x Gilded Lotus
3x Torch Fiend
1x Archeomancer
1x Alchemist's Apprentice (or any creature that draws a card when it dies)

You also need Faith's Reward in hand

1. Tap all three Lotus's for mana, 3 white, 3 red, 3 whatever
2. Use 1 red mana to sac the torch fiend to destroy one of the lotuses. Repeat with the other two torch fiends
3. Sac the archaeomancer to the connoisseur
4. Sac the Apprentice to draw a card
5. Use all three white mana and 1 whatever mana to cast Faith's Reward
6. When Reward resolves and puts Archaeomancer on the battlefield put Reward back in your hand from the graveyard (where it is, having finished resolving before the trigger was put on the stack)
7. 20 goto 10. You have the same permanents on the battlefield, 1 extra card, and 2 extra mana.
