Defiler of Faith

Whitemane Lion

Duskwatch Recruiter // Krallenhorde Howler

Liliana the Faultless

How it works

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

By stacking cost reducers like Defiler of Faith and Duskwatch Recruiter // Krallenhorde Howler, you can cast Whitemane Lion for zero mana, offsetting its life cost with the steady life gain provided by Liliana the Faultless whenever a creature enters. Each time the Lion enters the battlefield, its own trigger bounces it right back to your hand while simultaneously feeding Defiler of Faith's triggered ability to churn out an endless army of 1/1 Soldier tokens. This creates a self-sustaining loop that generates infinite creature enters-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield triggers, an infinite storm count, and endless life.
