Cryptolith Rite converts Emmara's tap trigger into mana; each Soldier token she creates taps for one more, and sacrificing it to Ashnod's Altar floats two colorless to pay Umbral Mantle's untap cost and restart the loop. Lightning Greaves is the weakest link — it exists solely to enable tapping Emmara without summoning sickness — but the payoff is every token trigger, death trigger, and combat-relevant pump stacked in one pass.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots is a straight swap for Lightning Greaves if hexproof over shroud is worth the one extra mana to equip. Sacrifice outlet redundancy matters here — Phyrexian Altar replaces Ashnod's Altar and keeps the mana colored, which matters for green-white finishers like Chord of Calling or Craterhoof Behemoth as a kill condition the loop itself doesn't provide.
