Defiler of Faith + Pearl Medallion + Whitemane Lion + Angelic Chorus

Defiler of Faith

Pearl Medallion

Whitemane Lion

Angelic Chorus

How it works

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

This elegant loop transforms the humble Whitemane Lion into an endless engine of creation and recovery by leaning on cost reducers to cast it entirely for free. With Pearl Medallion shaving off generic mana and Defiler of Faith discounting the remaining white mana in exchange for 2 life, you can repeatedly bounce the Lion back to your hand with its own entry trigger and recast it without spending a single drop of mana. Each time you cast the Lion, Defiler of Faith steps in to reward your white permanent spell with a fresh 1/1 Soldier creature token, which in turn immediately feeds Angelic Chorus to continuously pad your life total.
