Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim + Whitemane Lion

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim

Whitemane Lion

How it works

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

This clever loop transforms a simple feline rescue into an entire battalion while draining the table dry. With Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal reducing the cost of white spells down to zero and letting you pay life instead, you can cast Whitemane Lion repeatedly for free. Each time the Lion arrives, it triggers its own ability to bounce itself back to your hand, while simultaneously fueling Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim and Defiler of Faith to flood the board with Soldier tokens. Because The Wind Crystal doubles your life gain and Elas il-Kor triggers off every entering creature, the steady stream of tokens keeps your life total climbing to astronomical heights while your opponents wither away.
