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.

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.
