Patron of the Orochi untaps every Forest and green creature you control when it taps; Lightning Greaves' 0-equip cost lets the shroud hop between Patron and Emiel on the same turn, so Emiel blinks Patron back into play with summoning sickness cleared each loop. The combo lives in Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or Karametra, God of Harvests shells that already pack dense green creature counts and can reach the 3-mana threshold without straining.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Wirewood Symbiote fills a partial role if Emiel is unavailable, though it only returns Patron to hand rather than flickering it. For the kill, the infinite mana feeds Emiel's own blink trigger into an ETB payoff — Craterhoof Behemoth is the clean closer, and Chord of Calling or Green Sun's Zenith finds it mid-loop.
