Equipping Lightning Greaves to a nontoken creature triggers Monk Gyatso's airbending, exiling that creature before the equip resolves — the ability fizzles without a legal target. Centaur Omenreader reduces the exiled creature's recast cost to zero while a tapped creature is on the battlefield, closing the loop. Green-white creature-value builds running Panharmonicon, Purphoros, God of the Forge via partner, or any death-trigger payoff turn this into an instant win.

Activate Lightning Greaves's equip ability by paying , targeting another nontoken creature you control.
Monk Gyatso triggers, airbending the targeted creature.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite storm count

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop requires a tappable nontoken creature as fuel, so stax pieces that tap your board shut down the engine. Any nontoken creature fills the loop slot — the cheaper and more impactful its ETB, the cleaner the kill; Eternal Witness and Acidic Slime are free value, but Impact Tremors or Altar of Dementia are the closers once the loop goes infinite.
