Defiler of Faith + Oketra's Monument + Essence Warden + Kor Skyfisher

Defiler of Faith

Oketra's Monument

Essence Warden

Kor Skyfisher

How it works

1. Cast Kor Skyfisher by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument.
2. Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument trigger.
3. Resolve the Defiler of Faith trigger, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
4. When the Soldier enters, Essence Warden triggers, causing you to gain life.
5. Resolve the Oketra's Monument trigger, creating a 1/1 Warrior creature token.
6. When the Warrior enters, Essence Warden triggers, causing you to gain life.
7. Resolve Kor Skyfisher. When it enters, it and Essence Warden trigger.
8. Resolve the Kor Skyfisher trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
9. Resolve the Essence Warden trigger, causing you to gain life.
10. Repeat.

This loop is an exquisite cost-reduction engine, leveraging Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument to slash Kor Skyfisher's casting cost down to a literal zero. Because the Skyfisher's mana requirement is completely erased, you can cast it repeatedly for the price of 2 life, exploiting its own enters-the-battlefield drawback by bouncing itself right back to your hand. Meanwhile, every iteration floods the board with tokens thanks to the dual triggers from Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument. Finally, Essence Warden acts as our life-gain anchor, effortlessly recovering the life paid to the Defiler while turning every loop into an unstoppable tide of creatures and triggers.
