Mikaeus and Mimic work that way with Redcap, yeah. I’d recommend maybe skipping Triskelion just because it doesn’t do much on its own and your slot might be better spent on a higher impact card.
I don’t run Redcap but I do play Glen Elendra Archmage for infinite sac trigger shenanigans, that’s possibly an additional option to consider.
Can you lay this out for me? Do you mean Glen Elendra plus Mikaeus plus sac. outlet?
Yeah, exactly. So Mikaeus, Metallic Mimic (naming Wizards), or Sage of Fables will go infinite along with Glen Elendra and any free sacrifice outlet like Carrion Feeder, Viscera Seer, Phyrexian Altar, or Grimgrin.
As an aside, I don't know if anyone planned on testing Bolas' Citadel - if you are I'd highly recommend it. I've been using it for the past three weeks or so and I've gotten three sessions of 4/5 games in and it's overperformed substantially. It's a little soon to making any sweeping judgments, but it feels like it effectively locks the game out if it resolves people can't address it in a single turn cycle.
I run cards like Viscera Seer, Vampiric Tutor, and Lim-Dul's Vault to smooth things out and so far I tend to end up winning the game the turn I play it quite frequently, usually by playing Gray Merchant and zipping through the deck finding the three clone effects I run. If anyone has been looking for a bomb or an additional way to ensure more wins or value, try the Citadel and see if it's something that works for your list.

Spark Double only being able to copy permanents we would control might end up being too much of a draw back, although the ability to protect itself straight off the bat and also to potentially copy Marchesa or any other legend is pretty neat.
Bontu and the Pig I'm also curious about, they're both potentially very impactful.
I just saw Tempest Caller as well, it does seem like a very interesting card. The Wizard subtype does work quite nicely with Metallic Mimic/Sage of Fables to recur the Caller and repeatedly use its ability.
A little disappointing that she won't be foil, but it's acceptable considering how many other goodies are being provided. If Vindictive Lich and even Portal Mage are anything to go by it seems clear that Marchesa, TBR decks are about to get a few impressive cards - maybe even enough to push certain builds in the direction of Wizard tribal if there are enough ETB Wizards like the Lich. Whatever new Wizards get released also in turn make Mimic and Sage of Fables that much more synergistic for us, too.
I'm intrigued to see if there are enough powerful ETB Wizards to go full on Urza's Incubator/Mana Echoes/Cover of Darkness Wizard tribal with Marchesa.

It’s a solid 1 drop, can generate its own protection, is a Wizard so it synergizes with Sage/Mimic, and most importantly is a solid card draw engine.
