Defiler of Faith + Whitemane Lion + Angelic Chorus + Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Defiler of Faith

Whitemane Lion

Angelic Chorus

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

How it works

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

This clever loop lets you recast Whitemane Lion for zero mana and repeat it indefinitely by leaning on a powerful suite of cost reducers and payoff enchantments. With Grand Arbiter Augustin IV reducing generic costs and Defiler of Faith chipping away at the remaining white mana requirements with life instead, casting the Lion becomes entirely free. As the Lion bounces itself back to your hand upon entering, every iteration triggers Defiler of Faith to generate a fresh 1/1 Soldier creature token while Angelic Chorus rewards your board presence with a steady stream of life.
