Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Distinguished Conjurer + Whitemane Lion

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Distinguished Conjurer

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, Distinguished Conjurer triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Whitemane Lion. When it enters, it and Distinguished Conjurer trigger.
5. Resolve the Whitemane Lion trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Distinguished Conjurer trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This clever loop centers around casting and resetting Whitemane Lion for zero mana, turning it into an engine for endless value. With The Wind Crystal and Defiler of Faith both reducing its cost to absolute zero while the latter also pays life instead of mana, you can continually redeploy the Lion for free—generating a fresh 1/1 white Soldier creature token from Defiler of Faith each time. Every time a creature enters, Distinguished Conjurer triggers to pad your life total, a gain that The Wind Crystal doubles for good measure. Finally, the Lion's own entry trigger forces it right back to your hand, ready to start the cycle anew and letting you amass an infinite army and boundless life.
