Defiler of Faith + Pearl Medallion + Whitemane Lion + Dazzling Angel

Defiler of Faith

Pearl Medallion

Whitemane Lion

Dazzling Angel

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

This clever loop turns Whitemane Lion into a completely free, self-returning spell by combining the cost-reducing power of Pearl Medallion with the life-payment discount of Defiler of Faith to drop its mana value down to zero. As you endlessly recast the Lion for just two life, Defiler of Faith rewards your white permanent spells by flooding the board with 1/1 Soldier creature tokens. Those entering tokens immediately trigger Dazzling Angel to pad your life total against the cost of the Defiler, creating a self-sustaining engine of endless casts, triggers, and tokens.
