Defiler of Faith + Pearl Medallion + Whitemane Lion + Case of the Uneaten Feast

Defiler of Faith

Pearl Medallion

Whitemane Lion

Case of the Uneaten Feast

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

This fascinating loop transforms the modest cat knight Whitemane Lion into a self-sustaining engine of creation by leaning entirely on cost reduction and life manipulation. With Pearl Medallion shaving off generic mana and the life-payment option of Defiler of Faith eliminating the remaining white mana requirement, you can recast the Lion for zero mana at the cost of two life. Every time the Lion enters the battlefield, Defiler of Faith responds by spawning a 1/1 Soldier creature token, which in turn triggers Case of the Uneaten Feast to pad your life total back up and effortlessly solve the case. The Lion's own entry trigger then bounces itself right back to your hand, allowing you to repeat the cycle indefinitely for boundless entry and exit triggers, a towering army of tokens, and an ever-climbing storm count.
