Zirda, the Dawnwaker cuts Sunforger's activation cost and Malevolent Chandelier's recycling cost down to manageable levels, letting the loop pay for itself via Jeska's Will's red burst and Unexpected Windfall's Treasure output. The prerequisite is real: an opponent needs six or more cards in hand for Jeska's Will to produce enough red mana to fund the full cycle. This is a Boros spellslinger or equipment build — Feather, the Redeemed or Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation shells that already want Sunforger as a toolbox piece.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Jeska's Will's mana output scales with opponent hand size, so the loop tightens in the mid-to-late game and collapses early — plan around that ceiling. Wear Away and Tithe are the canonical Sunforger packages in the same colors; the kill needs a separate piece since the loop draws cards without a built-in damage outlet, so pair it with Guttersnipe or Aetherflux Reservoir to close.
