Dissection Tools sacrifices Su-Chi Cave Guard to itself while Koll, the Forgemaster watches from the battlefield; when the Guard dies, it dumps eight colorless mana into the pool and Koll returns itself to hand from the graveyard. Lightning Greaves is the connector — its zero-cost equip reattaches to Su-Chi Cave Guard each loop, satisfying the Dissection Tools activation without paying a real equip cost. The whole engine lives in Boros artifact commanders: Akiri, Fearless Voyager, Depala, Pilot Exemplar, or Koll himself in the command zone.

Infinite LTB; Infinite ETB; Infinite sacrifice triggers; Infinite death triggers; Infinite storm count
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Swiftfoot Boots cannot replace Lightning Greaves here — the one-mana equip cost eats into the colorless mana and breaks the loop. The infinite mana is colorless, so the kill needs a sink in those colors: Walking Ballista is the cleanest line, Goblin Bombardment converts the infinite death triggers to damage if the mana isn't needed.
