Doran, the Siege Tower makes creatures deal damage equal to toughness; Task Force grows its own toughness by 3 each time it becomes the target of an ability. Lightning Greaves equips for 0, which means bouncing it between Task Force and any other creature you control stacks the trigger as many times as needed before declaring attackers. The opponent needs a blocker that survives the targeted toughness stack or an instant-speed answer to any of the three pieces, or they lose.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Assault Formation replaces Doran, the Siege Tower as the damage-assignment layer if Doran draws removal — it does the same toughness-as-power conversion as an enchantment and is harder to hit with creature removal. Swiftfoot Boots can substitute for Lightning Greaves as the free-equip engine, though its 1-mana equip cost breaks the loop; keep Lightning Greaves as the piece that makes this work.
