To go off you need to have all the pieces on the battlefield: Smokebraider (without summsick to tap for mana) enchanted with Freed from the Real, Tremors and Ignus. Tap Smokebraider -> add RU -> R to return Ignus (adding CCR), U to untap Smokebraider. Cast Ignus dealing 1 damage, repeat.

I don't think I was the first to see this, just got it recently. Also works with things like Purphoros, and tbh is pretty conditional and all.

I like the idea, however it doesn't work as intended.
Smokebraiders mana can only be used in elementals. So you can't use it to activate freeds ability. Reason being is freed does not give the ability to smokebraider. It's run from the enchantment itself.
See deviant glee or keldon mantle for examples of aura's that grants an ability notice the words "has" and "gains"

Looks like another reason for Intruder Alarm...

Hell yes, gericault, you're absolutely right about that. My bad. Intruder Alarm seems like a solution, but whatever. Think it's still too conditional to rely on, even in EDH :)
