How it works

  1. Cast Whitemane Lion 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, Leyline of Vitality 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, Leyline of Vitality triggers, causing you to gain life.
  7. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Leyline of Vitality trigger.
  8. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
  9. Resolve the Leyline of Vitality trigger, causing you to gain life.
  10. Repeat.

This clever loop turns a modest white cat into an infinite army by stacking cost reducers so that the feline costs literally nothing to cast. With Defiler of Faith and Oketra's Monument both lowering the price of white creature spells, you can cast Whitemane Lion for zero mana by paying a bit of life to the Defiler. Once the Lion hits the battlefield, its own entry trigger forces it right back to your hand, allowing you to restart the cycle endlessly. Every iteration generates a steady stream of tokens from your cost reducers—complete with bonus life gained from Leyline of Vitality—letting you flood the board with infinite soldiers, warriors, and life.
