Priest of Fell Rites and Activated Sleeper alternate resurrecting each other at the cost of three life per activation; Bishop of Wings refunds four life on every Angel or Spirit entering the battlefield and mints a Spirit token on every death, so each full cycle nets life rather than bleeding it. Lightning Greaves is the glue — its zero-equip cost grants haste and shroud to each freshly returned creature, letting it activate immediately without waiting a turn. This is a Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Karlov of the Ghost Council commander-level kill line dressed in Maskwood Nexus, which makes every creature an Angel so Bishop of Wings' triggers fire on Priest of Fell Rites and Activated Sleeper.

Infinite creature tokens; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite lifegain; Infinite lifegain triggers; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Without Maskwood Nexus the loop collapses because Bishop of Wings only cares about Angels and Spirits — there is no redundant substitute for that piece. Once the loop is running, any drain payoff closes the game: Cruel Celebrant, Vindictive Vampire, or Blood Artist converts the infinite death triggers into a lethal life-loss effect without needing a separate attack step.
