Sword of the Paruns attached to Emmara, Soul of the Accord is the engine's hinge: tapping Emmara via Cryptolith Rite creates a token, the token taps for one mana, sacrificing it to Ashnod's Altar floats two colorless, and three total mana pays the Sword's untap activation with one left over. Lightning Greaves protects Emmara from removal between iterations and keeps the equipment attached through the loop. Green-white token shells with creature-based mana — Chorus of the Conclave, Rhys the Redeemed, or Emmara herself as commander — already want most of these pieces independently.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Umbral Mantle replaces Sword of the Paruns with an identical untap activation at the same cost, so either equipment slot closes the loop identically — run both if the shell supports it. The infinite tokens and mana don't win alone; pair with Altar of Dementia for the mill kill, Purphoros, God of the Forge if red is splashed, or Trostani, Selesnya's Voice to gain infinite life before dropping a finisher.
