Deadeye Navigator's soulbound blink costs 1U; Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea taps to produce exactly that, covering the activation as long as the mana is spent on creature abilities. Lightning Greaves equips for 0 and grants shroud, which is the only reason it's here — Deadeye's soulbound requires touching Gwenna to repair the bond after each blink, so shroud protection is irrelevant mid-loop, but the 0-equip cost is what makes the mana neutral.

How it works

Prerequisites

Deadeye Navigator is paired with Gwenna.

Steps

Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying , attaching it to Gwenna.
Activate Gwenna by tapping it, adding that can only be spent to cast creature spells or activate abilities of creatures.
Activate Gwenna by paying , blinking it.
When Gwenna enters the battlefield, Deadeye Navigator's soulbound ability triggers, repairing it and Gwenna.
Repeat.

Result

Infinite ETB; Infinite LTB

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots is the direct Lightning Greaves replacement if hexproof is acceptable over shroud, at the same 0-equip cost. The loop itself only produces ETB and LTB triggers, so pair it with a creature that converts those into a win — Purphur... no: add something like Altar of Dementia or any creature with a landfall-style ETB that drains or draws; the engine needs a payoff creature on the battlefield to close the game.
