Defiler of Faith + Daxos, Blessed by the Sun + Kor Skyfisher + Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

Defiler of Faith

Daxos, Blessed by the Sun

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, Daxos triggers, causing you to gain life.
4. Resolve Kor Skyfisher. When it enters, it and Daxos trigger.
5. Resolve the Kor Skyfisher trigger, returning it from the battlefield to your hand.
6. Resolve the Daxos trigger, causing you to gain life.
7. Repeat.

This elegant loop relies on stacking cost reductions from Defiler of Faith and Grand Arbiter Augustin IV to cast Kor Skyfisher entirely for free, paying only 2 life as an additional cost. Every time the Skyfisher enters and returns itself to your hand, the Defiler of Faith rewards your spellcasting by generating a 1/1 white Soldier creature token. As that token enters the battlefield, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun scales up your devotion and triggers to offset the life you spent, while also gaining you life when the Skyfisher leaves the battlefield.
