Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Suture Priest + Kor Skyfisher

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Suture Priest

Kor Skyfisher

How it works

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

This elegant loop relies on stacking cost reductions from Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal to cast Kor Skyfisher for a net-zero mana investment, paying with life instead. As Kor Skyfisher enters, its mandatory self-bounce puts it right back into your hand to repeat the process, while Defiler of Faith capitalizes on each cast by churning out an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. Every time those tokens enter the battlefield, Suture Priest catches the triggers to continually pad your life total, ensuring you can safely sustain the life payments needed to keep the cycle spinning indefinitely.
