Conspiracy naming Angel makes Body Double an Angel on entry, which means Bishop of Wings triggers on every ETB and death in the loop — four life gained each time a creature enters, a 1/1 Spirit created each time one dies. Lightning Greaves equips for free, giving Priest of Fell Rites and Body Double the haste and shroud needed to activate and sacrifice immediately without passing priority. The combo is resident in Esper Angel commanders like Giada, Font of Hope or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, where Conspiracy is already pulling weight by turning non-Angels into the tribe.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The five-card ask is steep — Altar of Dementia or Blasting Station can replace the kill role if the combo is trimmed, but all five pieces are load-bearing. Conspiracy is the hardest cut; without it Body Double's death doesn't feed Bishop of Wings, so there's no clean substitute for that slot. If Lightning Greaves is answered, Swiftfoot Boots is the direct swap — the loop needs haste on the sacrificers or it stalls on summoning sickness.
