Defiler of Faith + Whitemane Lion + Grand Arbiter Augustin IV + Bogwater Lumaret

Defiler of Faith

Whitemane Lion

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Bogwater Lumaret

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

This clever loop turns a modest cat into an infinite army by exploiting massive cost reductions and self-bouncing mechanics. With Grand Arbiter Augustin IV and Defiler of Faith both chipping away at mana costs, you can cast Whitemane Lion for zero mana by paying life instead, which in turn triggers Defiler of Faith to mint a 1/1 Soldier token. Every single entry—both of the Lion and the tokens—feeds Bogwater Lumaret to keep your life total safely padded while you generate infinite triggers and a towering storm count.
