Koll, the Forgemaster returns Shambling Ghast to hand every time it dies as a non-token creature equipped to something, and Demonmail Hauberk is what kills it — each sacrifice cycle generates a Treasure from the Ghast's death trigger, which funds the next Ghast cast. Lightning Greaves costs nothing to equip, so the loop runs at zero additional mana investment beyond the initial setup. Aristocrats shells in Mardu colors running Koll as commander assemble this through creature tutors and equipment searches alike.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Ashnod's Altar replaces Demonmail Hauberk as the sacrifice outlet if the Hauberk gets destroyed mid-loop, though it produces colorless rather than equipping Koll directly — any free or zero-cost sacrifice outlet that triggers death works. Pitiless Plunderer is a redundant Treasure generator if the Ghast trigger gets countered. The loop produces infinite storm but no direct kill; close with Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Reckless Fireweaver draining for each death trigger.
