Urza, Prince of Kroog pays 6 to create two token copies of Basalt Monolith; Lightning Greaves equips for free to each token in sequence, letting both tap for three colorless before Urza fires again. Mondrak, Glory Dominus doubles every token Urza produces, meaning the loop scales aggressively once Mondrak is on board. The combo lives in Urza-led artifact builds and any white-blue good-stuff commander that assembles equipment and mana rocks naturally.

Result

Infinite ETB; Infinite tapped creature tokens

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The mana-generation here is incidental — the real payoff is the infinite ETB count, so pair Purphoros, God of the Forge or Altar of the Brood as a closer, though those require splashing or a separate package. Tighten the line by swapping Lightning Greaves for Swiftfoot Boots only if shroud doesn't conflict with targeting needs elsewhere; Greaves' zero equip cost is doing essential work here, so Boots at 1 is a real downgrade.
