Defiler of Faith + The Immortal Sun + Whitemane Lion + Dazzling Angel

Defiler of Faith

The Immortal Sun

Whitemane Lion

Dazzling Angel

How it works

1. Cast Whitemane Lion by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and The Immortal Sun.
2. Defiler of Faith triggers, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
3. When the Soldier enters, Dazzling Angel triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Dazzling Angel trigger.
5. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Dazzling Angel trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This ingenious loop relies on a brilliant synergy of cost-reducers and self-bouncing creatures to spin out an endless stream of value. By stacking the mana-reduction of The Immortal Sun with the white-specific discount of Defiler of Faith, you can cast Whitemane Lion entirely for free at the cost of some life. As the Lion enters the battlefield, it must return a creature to your hand—and what better target than itself, resetting the loop while simultaneously fueling the rest of your board? Every single cycle triggers Defiler of Faith to flood the battlefield with a 1/1 Soldier creature token, which in turn causes Dazzling Angel to trigger repeatedly and pad your life total against the life paid to cast your spells.
