Koll, the Forgemaster + Diamond Lion + Rising of the Day + Ronin Warclub

Koll, the Forgemaster

Diamond Lion

Rising of the Day

Ronin Warclub

How it works

1. Cast Diamond Lion by paying 2.
2. When Diamond Lion enters, Ronin Warclub triggers, attaching itself to Diamond Lion.
3. Activate Diamond Lion by tapping it, sacrificing it and discarding your hand, adding three mana of any color.
4. When Diamond Lion dies, Koll triggers, returning Diamond Lion from your graveyard to your hand.
5. Repeat.

This clever loop turns the self-sacrifice of Diamond Lion into a perpetual engine by relying on Koll, the Forgemaster's ability to scoop creatures back to your hand whenever they die while equipped. Ronin Warclub is the crucial glue here, using its triggered ability to automatically strap itself to the Lion the moment it enters, ensuring the creature is always properly equipped for Koll's return trigger. Meanwhile, Rising of the Day grants your board haste, allowing Diamond Lion to tap the very moment it hits the battlefield so you can convert its sacrifice into a steady stream of colored mana.
