Defiler of Faith + Guide of Souls + Kor Skyfisher + Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Defiler of Faith

Guide of Souls

Kor Skyfisher

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

How it works

1. Cast Kor Skyfisher by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and Grand Arbiter Augustin IV.
2. Defiler of Faith triggers, creating a 1/1 Soldier creature token.
3. When the Soldier enters, Guide of Souls triggers, causing you to gain life and get E
4. Resolve Kor Skyfisher. When it enters, it and Guide of Souls trigger.
5. Resolve the Kor Skyfisher trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Guide of Souls trigger, causing you to gain life and get E
7. Repeat.

This intricate loop harnesses the cost-reduction engine of Grand Arbiter Augustin IV and Defiler of Faith to cast Kor Skyfisher for a net-zero mana investment, paying life instead to fulfill its requirements. As the Skyfisher repeatedly enters and bounces itself back to your hand, Defiler of Faith triggers to flood the board with 1/1 Soldier tokens. Each time one of these new Soldiers arrives, Guide of Souls recognizes the entry to continuously pad your life total and bank an endless supply of energy counters.
