Zirda, the Dawnwaker reduces Myr Propagator's activation cost to 1, making each copy cheap enough that sacrificing the tapped original to Ashnod's Altar nets 1 colorless mana per loop. Lightning Greaves equips for 0 to grant haste to the fresh token so it can activate immediately — without it, the loop stalls for a full turn. Red-white artifact decks like Osgir, the Reconstructor or Akiri, Line-Slinger do the most with infinite ETB and death triggers on top of the mana.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots can substitute for Lightning Greaves if the 1-mana equip cost is acceptable — with Zirda reducing activated abilities, it still costs 1 to equip, so the net mana per loop drops to 0 and you need an alternative mana source to keep going. Walking Ballista or Reckless Fireweaver is the natural kill once mana goes infinite; without a sink already on board, the loop generates value without closing the game.
