Karametra's Acolyte taps for green equal to your devotion; with Animar at three counters the Acolyte produces at least four, enough to pay Temur Sabertooth's 1G bounce activation and recast the Acolyte for G with mana to spare. Lightning Greaves equips for zero to give the Acolyte haste immediately, letting it tap again the same turn it enters. Every loop adds a counter to Animar, inflates devotion, and nets more green mana — the engine snowballs faster each iteration.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Swiftfoot Boots replaces Lightning Greaves if haste is all that's needed and the hexproof matters less than the equip cost — both cost zero to move. Craterhoof Behemoth or Walking Ballista are the canonical closers once mana goes infinite; without a sink the loop is just a very large Animar. Selvala, Heart of the Wilds can replace Karametra's Acolyte in lists already running her, trading devotion-based production for a power-based tap that also draws cards.
