Doran, the Siege Tower makes creatures deal combat damage equal to toughness; each free re-equip of Lightning Greaves triggers Angelic Protector to stack +0/+3 onto itself, and with zero equip cost there is no ceiling on how large the toughness grows. The combo requires a clear path to an opponent — no blockers able to trade with Angelic Protector — so it sits best in a Doran shell that runs evasion or removal to pave the way.

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent is unable to block and kill Angelic Protector.

Steps

Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying , targeting Angelic Protector.
Angelic Protector triggers, giving itself +0/+3 until end of turn.
Resolve the Lightning Greaves ability, attaching it to Angelic Protector.
Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying , attaching it to another creature you control.
Repeat an arbitrarily large number of times.
Deal combat damage to an opponent with Angelic Protector, causing the opponent to lose the game due to having zero or less life.

Result

Infinite combat damage to one opponent

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Assault Suit replaces Lightning Greaves if shroud is a liability with other equip targets, but the equip cost is not zero and the loop stops working entirely — Lightning Greaves is non-negotiable here. A second creature to bounce the Greaves onto is the only other prerequisite; any cheap body already in the Doran list fills that role.
