Defiler of Faith + Helm of Awakening + Kor Skyfisher + Haliya, Guided by Light

Defiler of Faith

Helm of Awakening

Kor Skyfisher

Haliya, Guided by Light

How it works

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

This loop is brilliantly orchestrated by a cost-reducing engine that lets you cast Kor Skyfisher for free, trading 2 life to Defiler of Faith while Helm of Awakening shaves off the generic mana. Each time Kor Skyfisher hits the battlefield, its own entry trigger forces you to return it right back to your hand, creating a continuous loop of casting and bouncing. Meanwhile, Haliya, Guided by Light acts as your life-gain amplifier, turning every iteration—and the creation of each Soldier token from Defiler of Faith's triggered ability—into a steady stream of life that can easily satisfy Haliya's end-step card draw requirement.
