Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Anointer Priest + Kor Skyfisher

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Anointer Priest

Kor Skyfisher

How it works

1. Cast Kor Skyfisher by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal.
2. Defiler of Faith triggers, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
3. When the Soldier enters, Anointer Priest triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Kor Skyfisher. When it enters, it and Anointer Priest trigger.
5. Resolve the Kor Skyfisher trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Anointer Priest trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop relies on a clever reduction engine to cast Kor Skyfisher for free, turning it into a self-returning engine. With Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal both chipping away at the spell's cost, the Skyfisher drops for zero mana while the Defiler rewards each casting with a fresh 1/1 Soldier creature token. Every time that token enters, Anointer Priest steps in to trigger our lifegain—doubled effortlessly by The Wind Crystal's passive life-doubling property. Finally, when Kor Skyfisher hits the battlefield, its own mandatory entry trigger bounces it right back to your hand, allowing you to repeat the entire cycle indefinitely for an infinite storm count and boundless life.
