Phyrexian Altar sacrifices Nomad Mythmaker for one white mana; Gift of Immortality returns Mythmaker to the battlefield, then falls to the graveyard itself, where Mythmaker's tap ability immediately reclaims it for that same white mana. Lightning Greaves reattaches for free each loop, giving Mythmaker haste to tap again immediately — without it, the loop stalls the turn it starts. White aristocrats shells running Altar of Dementia, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Reveillark redundancy are the natural homes.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Shuko is a zero-equip-cost alternative to Lightning Greaves that costs one to cast instead of two — draw on whichever is easier to tutor. The loop produces infinite white mana but zero card draw, so pair it with a payoff already on the battlefield: Altar of Dementia mills the table, Soul Warden or Blood Artist drains it, or Cathars' Crusade stacks counters on whatever else is in play.
