Koll, the Forgemaster is the engine: when an equipped creature dies, Koll returns it to hand rather than the graveyard. Demonmail Hauberk provides a free sacrifice outlet that re-equips itself, Impulsive Pilferer generates the Treasure to recast itself, and Lightning Greaves's 0-equip cost lets the loop restart without paying an equip tax each cycle. Every iteration produces a death trigger, an ETB trigger, and a storm count tick — lethal with any damage-per-death or cast payoff already on the battlefield.

Steps

  1. Activate Lightning Greaves's equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Impulsive Pilferer.
  2. Activate Demonmail Hauberk by sacrificing Impulsive Pilferer, targeting Koll.
  3. When Impulsive Pilferer dies, it and Koll trigger.
  4. Resolve the Impulsive Pilferer trigger, creating a Treasure token.
  5. Resolve the Koll trigger, returning it from your graveyard to your hand.
  6. Resolve the Demonmail Hauberk ability, attaching it to Koll.
  7. Activate the Treasure by tapping and sacrificing it, adding {R}.
  8. Cast Impulsive Pilferer by paying its mana cost.
  9. Repeat.

Result

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite storm count

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots cannot substitute for Lightning Greaves here — the 1-equip cost breaks the mana neutrality of the loop. Any creature that creates a mana-positive token on death and costs 1 red can replace Impulsive Pilferer if a tighter list needs the slot. Close with Impact Tremors or Altar of the Brood, both of which trigger on the infinite casts and ETBs without needing additional setup.
