Faeburrow Elder taps for at least four mana when four colors are present among permanents; Emiel the Blessed costs exactly 3 to blink it, so each cycle nets mana and resets the Elder's summoning sickness via Lightning Greaves' shroud and free re-equip. The Greaves do double duty — they protect Emiel from removal and let the freshly-blinked Elder tap again immediately without haste from another source.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Temur Sabertooth can replace Emiel as a blink engine if Greaves are answered, though it requires a mana-positive setup of its own. Bloom Tender mirrors Faeburrow Elder and slots in as a direct substitute in any list that can meet the four-color threshold. Altar of the Brood or Impact Tremors converts the infinite ETBs into a kill, since the mana engine alone doesn't close the game.
