Myr Propagator's activated ability costs 3 and a tap to make two token copies of itself; Lightning Greaves re-equips for 0 to untap the original, and Ashnod's Altar sacrifices the tapped original plus one token for 4 colorless — netting 1 mana per loop while a token army accumulates. Primal Vigor doubles each token creation, so every activation yields four copies instead of two, making the Altar sacrifice redundant to the loop's growth. Green artifact-combo shells running Urza, Lord High Artificer or Emry, Lurker of the Loch find this line attractive because every piece does independent work.

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.

03

Result

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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Doubling Season replaces Primal Vigor and does the same doubling job without giving opponents the benefit, though it costs more mana to resolve. Skullclamp or Goblin Bombardment converts the infinite death and ETB triggers into a kill if the token flood alone isn't finishing the table; the engine generates the resources, the closer is on the pilot to supply.
