Zirda, the Dawnwaker reduces activated ability costs, cutting Sunforger's equip to 1 and Epitaph Golem's recycling to 2, which is what makes the whole chain affordable. Each loop fetches Jeska's Will for at least six red mana and Big Score for two cards and two Treasures, then Epitaph Golem puts both spells back into the library to run it again. The prerequisite — an opponent holding six or more — is real and worth noting, since Jeska's Will needs it to produce enough red to fund the next iteration.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The five-piece assembly requirement means tutors that find enchantments for Zirda, artifacts for Sunforger, or either instant are mandatory support — Enlightened Tutor grabs both equipment and Golem. Aetherflux Reservoir or Grapeshot converts the near-infinite storm count into the kill; without a storm sink the loop draws cards but doesn't close the game on its own.
