Koll, the Forgemaster + Diamond Lion + Kemba, Kha Enduring

Koll, the Forgemaster

Diamond Lion

Kemba, Kha Enduring

How it works

1. Cast Diamond Lion by paying 2.
2. When Diamond Lion enters, Kemba triggers, attaching an Equipment to Diamond Lion that will give Diamond Lion haste.
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 Diamond Lion into a self-recycling mana source by pairing its sacrificial mana ability with the recursion of Koll, the Forgemaster. Because Kemba, Kha Enduring automatically equips Diamond Lion the moment it enters the battlefield—granting it the haste needed to tap immediately—you can continuously crack the Lion for three mana of any color. Each time the Diamond Lion goes to the graveyard, Koll's static trigger catches the equipped creature dying and returns it straight to your hand, allowing you to recast it and repeat the whole cycle indefinitely.
