Felidar Guardian + Saheeli Rai, just in this damn block... Man, I wished I had pulled the trigger on those Saheeli's earlier on. Standard Splinter Twin-esque right there.

OK, so I realized the error in my calculations after reading the card. One would need a single E use each turn. Luckily, such cards exist: Multiform Wonder & Spontaneous Artist. Both have abilities that use one E at any time, hence leaving you with only one E to combo out. Sure, you won't build an arsenal of energy, but you will get the most out of the Multiform Wonder!
Better, would be to combo it with something that can use two EE instead of just one.
Just those two, you can cast Greenbelt twice and give Longtusk a +1/+1 counter. You will then be able to cast Greenbelt again and have it return to your hand.
This also triggers revolt, so any card that takes advantage of that will benefit.
If you add in some other cards, the combo gets better.
With Decoction Module, you only have to cast Greenbelt once to get the counter added to Longtusk.
With Winding Constrictor, you only have to cast Greenbelt once, and you can add TWO +1/+1 counters to Longtusk.
With Fabrication Module, cast Greenbelt twice to get three +1/+1 counters for Longtusk.
Unless you can spend energy, you're eventually forced to pay EE and can no longer spam Greenbelt Rampager.
Each time you play & bounce it back, you do 3 damage to a creature or player and gain one E. You can build up a massive amount of energy this way. It's a 2-card combo that will dominate if left unattended.
Because Greenbelt Rampager does not say "you may", you cannot "build up a massive amount of energy"--the moment you resolve that elephant and have EE, the elephant's ETB trigger forces you to pay EE, and if you don't burn up energy in response, you have to keep the elephant and go back down to 0 E.

Greenbelt Rampager, Winding Constrictor, and Longtusk Cubs seems pretty good. Theoretically cubs becomes a 4/4 (or 6/6 if Attune with Aether played on turn 1)on turn 3 and could be a 12/12 or 14/14 on turn 4 and you don't have to empty your hand to get there.
Is it possible to combo out with these conditions?
Scrap Trawler & Zulaport Cutthroat in play, then cast Walking Ballista for zero, letting it go to the graveyard, trigger Zulaport, and return it to hand via triggered Scrap Trawler ability. Repeat.
"An object returned to the battlefield with the undying ability is a new object with no memory of its previous existence."
Although confirmation would be great. Thanks
Yeah, Undying Evil won't affect the returned creature. Ballista does combo perfectly well with Mikaeus himself, though. Replacement for Trike? (You'll need a Zulaport Cutthroat style card first, though.)

The problem boils to less than 0 cmc, is 0<0?
Nope, zero is not less than zero. Negative one is (But there are no spells costing <0.)

This isn't crazy or anything but yesterday I was playing EDH and suspended Lotus Bloom, when it came into play my opponent flash backed a card to destroy it during my upkeep. So I sacrificed it for 3 Blue and Whir of Invention for 0 getting Chrome Mox. It was amazing! That card is beyond remarkable. Fabricate at instant speed and puts it onto the battlefield? Heck, I could have grabbed Lotus Bloom itself for 0 and had a Black Lotus at my opponent's end step in other circumstances. Amazing combo in Silas Renn EDH.
tl;dr Whir of Invention + your deck = my favorite "combo" lol

Yeah, I think Whir might be one of the sleepers of the set-
people are scared by UUU, but I frequently cast Chord of Calling without any Convoke,
and lots of EDH decks are already prepared because of Cryptic Command.

I was only able to get one yesterday. Pretty upsetting. I ended up buying the second one I needed online and will just have to wait for shipping sadly. People in my area are all hoarding them. I don't think it's going to be necessarily expensive and even if it was, people could just buy the damn things if they're not going to use it immediately like I am for EDH but only hoarding for value. Regardless I do agree that a few years down the line this card will no doubt be highly sought IMO. UUU scares people in the color that does artifice best? That's what perplexes me. I agree it's a sleeper for now.
UW has these three Legends that can make a tax and reduction build.
Thalia, Heretic Cathar + Deadeye Harpooner + Eldrazi Displacer
Deadeye can kill off any tapped creature the opponent has that will enter the battlefield tapped. Displacer can blink it.
Other options with the Eldrazi leaders
Ulamog, the ceaseless hunger = infinite to exile the whole entire board (not your stuff Ofcoarse)
Emrakul, the promised end + Ugin's nexus = do it X times of casting Emrakul (X is number of players) mind control everyone to victory
Throw in Break Through the Line to push the damage through and protect Kari.

Aethergeode Miner + Aetherstorm Roc. Two Roc's it's free blinking trigger. Three Roc and you can make all the energy counters you want.

Better, would be to combo it with something that can use two EE instead of just one.
Greenbelt Rampager + Longtusk Cub, for example.
Just those two, you can cast Greenbelt twice and give Longtusk a +1/+1 counter. You will then be able to cast Greenbelt again and have it return to your hand.
This also triggers revolt, so any card that takes advantage of that will benefit.
If you add in some other cards, the combo gets better.
With Decoction Module, you only have to cast Greenbelt once to get the counter added to Longtusk.
With Winding Constrictor, you only have to cast Greenbelt once, and you can add TWO +1/+1 counters to Longtusk.

I am thinking of a combo similar to Triskelion + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed.
I am pretty certain that this does not work due to:
"An object returned to the battlefield with the undying ability is a new object with no memory of its previous existence."

Token artifact lands.
You'll get a clone of your equipment which you can equip to a creature you control.
