4-card combo · W

Verdict

Yes — this 4-card loop generates infinite colorless mana and infinite Myr Propagator tokens once it clears the 3-mana-per-copy activation cost.

Anointed Procession doubles each Myr Propagator activation from one token to two, which is exactly what makes the math work: sacrificing the tapped original and one token to Ashnod's Altar returns four colorless, covering the three needed to activate the untapped copy with one mana left over. Lightning Greaves is the mechanical keystone — it grants haste to a freshly ETB'd token so the loop can continue without passing priority to untap. White artifact shells running Breya-adjacent strategies or Emry-less artifact commanders are the natural homes.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

  1. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Myr Propagator.
  2. Activate Myr Propagator by paying {3} and tapping it, creating two token copies of itself.
  3. Activate Ashnod's Altar twice by sacrificing the tapped Myr Propagator and a Myr Propagator token, adding {C}{C}{C}{C}.
  4. Repeat.
  5. Once you have infinite mana, you may forego sacrificing the Myr Propagator tokens.

03

Result

Infinite colorless mana; Infinite creature tokens; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Strionic Resonator can copy the Propagator's activated ability in some builds, but Anointed Procession is non-negotiable here — without it the activation cost outpaces the Altar's return. With infinite colorless mana and tokens on board, Walking Ballista or Altar of the Brood closes the game; the token flood alone does nothing without a sink.
