4-card combo · RW

Verdict

Yes — this 4-card loop generates infinite death triggers and storm count in any Boros artifact shell that can assemble the pieces.

Demonmail Hauberk sacrifices Cathodion to equip Koll; Cathodion's death trigger adds three colorless mana, and Koll's trigger returns itself to hand. Lightning Greaves at zero equip cost lets Cathodion be sacrificed immediately on recast without waiting for priority. The whole loop runs at sorcery speed but produces infinite ETB, LTB, and sacrifice triggers off a commander most tables won't see coming.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

02

Steps

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

Result

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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Any free-sacrifice outlet that triggers Koll can substitute for Demonmail Hauberk if the Hauberk gets destroyed — Ashnod's Altar won't loop cleanly here since Koll's return needs the equipment on him, so keep the Hauberk protected. Walking Ballista or Reckless Fireweaver turns the infinite storm count and ETBs into a kill; without a damage sink the loop is spectacular and does nothing.
