Defiler of Faith + The Wind Crystal + Daxos, Blessed by the Sun + Kor Skyfisher

Defiler of Faith

The Wind Crystal

Daxos, Blessed by the Sun

Kor Skyfisher

How it works

1. Cast Kor Skyfisher by paying 0 and 2 life due to Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal.
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 clever loop transforms a simple self-bouncing creature into an engine of endless value by slashing casting costs to absolute zero. With both Defiler of Faith and The Wind Crystal working together to reduce Kor Skyfisher's mana cost by two generic and one white mana, you can cast the flyer for free while paying life instead. Every time Kor Skyfisher enters the battlefield, it must return a permanent to your hand, but its own trigger conveniently targets itself—looping it endlessly back to your hand to be recast. Meanwhile, Defiler of Faith rewards each iteration by spawning a 1/1 Soldier creature token, and Daxos, Blessed by the Sun watches these tokens enter and leave to rapidly pump up its own toughness while generating a mountain of life.
