Emry, Lurker of the Loch casts Tormod's Crypt for free from the graveyard; that 0-mana cast triggers Displacer Kitten, which blinks Emry, which mills four more cards on reentry and puts Tormod's Crypt back into the graveyard to repeat. Lightning Greaves protects Emry from the removal that would otherwise end the loop immediately and provides the haste needed to tap Emry the same turn it blinks in.

Any 0-mana artifact with a sacrifice outlet can replace Tormod's Crypt — Mishra's Bauble draws a card each loop and mills a library given time, making it a direct upgrade. The loop produces no mana on its own, so a closer is mandatory: Altar of the Brood converts every Emry ETB into a mill trigger, while Aetherflux Reservoir turns the storm count into a kill shot.
