Koll, the Forgemaster returns Shambling Ghast to hand whenever it dies equipped, and Dissection Tools provides the sacrifice outlet while passing its equip to Koll; Lightning Greaves at zero equip cost is what makes the loop free, letting Shambling Ghast re-equip and re-enter the sacrifice chain without additional mana. Each iteration creates a Treasure from Shambling Ghast's death trigger, which pays the one black to recast it, netting infinite ETB, LTB, and death triggers across Mardu colors.

Alter of Dementia or Blood Artist converts the infinite death triggers into a kill — the loop generates no direct damage or mill on its own. Puresteel Paladin can reduce equip costs to zero in place of Lightning Greaves in equipment-heavy shells, though it requires the metalcraft threshold to be active.
