Zirda, the Dawnwaker reduces Sunforger's equip cost to 1 and Barkform Harvester's activation to 2, making the loop self-sustaining: Jeska's Will generates the red needed to keep reattaching and refiring Sunforger, Big Score replaces itself and produces the Treasures that pay for reequipping, and Barkform Harvester puts both instants back into the library to find again. The six-card-in-hand prerequisite for Jeska's Will is the real gating condition — it resolves cleanly early in a game but can misfire by turn 3 if opponents are hellbent.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The opponent hand-size requirement makes this fragile to wheel effects and aggressive mulligans; prioritize assembling the loop before players dump their hands. Any Boros storm payoff closes it — Aetherflux Reservoir counts the storm, Aria of Flame converts magecraft triggers into damage, and Sunforger itself can go find either one mid-loop if they aren't already on the battlefield.
