Ingris Stingerquill and Mana Echoes generate infinite Cadets and mana

With at least three Cadets in play, Ingris can spend four mana to create another token, which makes Mana Echoes refund enough mana to repeat the activation indefinitely.

New Reality Fracture commander Ingris Stingerquill has a compact loop with Mana Echoes. With Ingris, Mana Echoes and at least three Cadets in play, activating Ingris creates another Cadet. Mana Echoes then generates at least four colorless mana, covering the next activation and increasing the refund as the army grows.

The loop produces arbitrarily many hasty Cadets and colorless mana, letting Ingris's attack-trigger damage close the game. A second, less efficient line combines Illusionist's Bracers with Ashnod's Altar: copied activations make two Cadets that can be sacrificed for the four mana needed to repeat, with Impact Tremors, Blood Artist or a cost reducer converting the loop into a win.
