Defiler of Faith + Helm of Awakening + Prosperous Innkeeper + Whitemane Lion

Defiler of Faith

Helm of Awakening

Prosperous Innkeeper

Whitemane Lion

How it works

1. Cast Whitemane Lion 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, Prosperous Innkeeper triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Prosperous Innkeeper trigger.
5. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Prosperous Innkeeper trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This ingenious loop is entirely powered by cost reduction and self-bouncing mechanics, letting you cast your creature over and over for free. With Helm of Awakening and the life-payment ability of Defiler of Faith both actively reducing costs, Whitemane Lion can be cast repeatedly for zero mana while feeding the Defiler's triggered ability to flood the board with 1/1 Soldier creature tokens. Every time one of those tokens enters the battlefield, Prosperous Innkeeper triggers to pad your life total, turning the endless cycle of casting and returning Whitemane Lion into an unstoppable engine for infinite tokens, lifegain, and storm count.
