Koll, the Forgemaster returns Reckless Barbarian to hand each time it dies, and Lightning Greaves' 0-equip cost means reattaching costs nothing before each sacrifice. Reckless Barbarian's activation adds 2 red, which pays its own 1R recast cost exactly, netting zero mana but infinite loop iterations — every death trigger, ETB, and storm count stacks freely.

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop is mana-neutral, so it wins only through a damage outlet already on the battlefield — Purphoros, God of the Forge converts every Reckless Barbarian ETB into 2 damage, and Impact Tremors does the same for one mana less. Goblin Bombardment can sub in as the sacrifice outlet if Lightning Greaves is removed, though it costs 1 red per loop iteration and breaks the mana-neutral math unless another rock is present.
