Defiler of Faith + Oketra's Monument + Ajani's Welcome + Whitemane Lion

Defiler of Faith

Oketra's Monument

Ajani's Welcome

Whitemane Lion

How it works

1. Cast Whitemane Lion by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument.
2. Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument trigger.
3. Resolve the Defiler of Faith trigger, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
4. When the Soldier enters, Ajani's Welcome triggers, causing you to gain life.
5. Resolve the Oketra's Monument trigger, creating a 1/1 Warrior creature token.
6. When the Warrior enters, Ajani's Welcome triggers, causing you to gain life.
7. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Ajani's Welcome trigger.
8. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
9. Resolve the Ajani's Welcome trigger, causing you to gain life.
10. Repeat.

This clever loop turns Whitemane Lion into a completely free, self-returning spell by combining the cost-reduction powers of Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument to completely eliminate its mana cost. As you repeatedly cast and bounce the cat, Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument double up on their cast triggers to flood the board with an endless army of Soldier and Warrior tokens. Every single token that enters the battlefield gracefully feeds into Ajani's Welcome to pad your life total, creating an unbroken engine that generates limitless resources right before your eyes.
