Garth One-Eye's Black Lotus copy funds the

for Ghostly Flicker every iteration; Mnemonic Wall returns Ghostly Flicker to hand on each blink, and Lightning Greaves moves off Garth before the flicker so shroud doesn't block it as a target. The loop sits in 5-color good-stuff or Garth-as-commander shells that already want value from repeated ETB effects — Mnemonic Wall is the only piece that isn't pulling weight outside the combo.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Archaeomancer or Salvager of Secrets slot in for Mnemonic Wall if a cheaper body matters and the 0/4 wall is dead on the board. The loop produces infinite storm count and ETB triggers but no direct damage or mill — close it with Aetherflux Reservoir, Impact Tremors, or Thassa's Oracle, which blue-heavy 5-color shells can already support.
