Defiler of Faith + Pearl Medallion + Kor Skyfisher + Virulent Emissary

Defiler of Faith

Pearl Medallion

Kor Skyfisher

Virulent Emissary

How it works

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

This clever loop transforms Kor Skyfisher into a self-sustaining engine by completely eliminating its mana cost through the combined cost reductions of Defiler of Faith and Pearl Medallion. As you repeatedly recast the Kor Skyfisher for free while paying life into the Defiler, the Defiler of Faith rewards your white permanent spells by generating an endless army of Soldier creature tokens. Meanwhile, Virulent Emissary acts as a passive life-restoring anchor, gaining you life off every single creature entering the battlefield to comfortably offset the life you spend keeping the loop alive.
