3-card combo · UB

Verdict

Yes — this 3-card loop generates infinite ETB and LTB triggers plus infinite storm count, and the engine costs nothing to repeat once assembled.

Lightning Greaves' free equip ability triggers Cowardice, bouncing Priest of Gix to hand before the equip resolves; Priest of Gix re-enters for 2B and adds BBB, netting one black mana each loop. The combo lives in black-blue value and storm shells that want a repeatable engine rather than a glass-cannon combo — the equip cost is zero, so nothing interrupts the loop except stack interaction.

Steps

  1. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, targeting Priest of Gix.
  2. Cowardice triggers, returning Priest of Gix from the battlefield to your hand.

  4. Priest of Gix enters the battlefield, adding {B}{B}{B}.
  5. Repeat.

Result

Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Diplomatic Immunity and Shuriken can substitute for Lightning Greaves as the free-targeting trigger that feeds Cowardice. The loop generates mana and triggers but does not win on its own — Altar of the Brood mills on entry, Tendrils of Agony closes on storm count, or Zulaport Cutthroat converts the LTBs into lethal drain.
