Zirda, the Dawnwaker reduces activated abilities by two generic mana, which is what makes Sunforger re-equip for one mana and Soldevi Digger recycle for one mana each activation instead of three. The loop runs Jeska's Will for at least six red, re-equips Sunforger for one, fetches Big Score to draw two and make two Treasures, then uses Soldevi Digger twice to bottom both spells and start again — the Treasures pay for the Digger activations and leave red floating each cycle. The opponent's hand size is the real constraint: six cards is the floor, and if that count drops mid-loop the engine stalls.

The combo has no clean substitute for Zirda since the cost reduction is load-bearing throughout — without it, the mana doesn't close. Grapeshot or Aetherflux Reservoir are the natural closers once storm count climbs; Magnetic Theft can slot in to re-attach Sunforger if Zirda is removed before the loop starts, buying one free re-equip at instant speed.
