Conspiracy naming Angel makes Activated Sleeper and Priest of Fell Rites both Angels on entry, which lets Bishop of Wings trigger on every enter-the-battlefield and every death in the loop. Lightning Greaves costs zero to re-equip each cycle, giving whichever piece just entered the battlefield haste and shroud to fire its tap-and-sacrifice ability immediately. The net life each loop is positive — each iteration costs three life and gains eight — so the combo is self-sustaining past the four-life floor.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

"Angel" chosen with Conspiracy. Your life total is at least four.

02

Steps

  1. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Priest of Fell Rites.
  2. Activate Priest of Fell Rites by paying three life, tapping and sacrificing it.
  3. When Priest of Fell Rites dies, Bishop of Wings' second ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
  4. When the Spirit enters the battlefield, Bishop of Wings' first ability triggers, causing you to gain four life.
  5. Resolve the Priest of Fell Rites ability, returning Activated Sleeper from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Priest of Fell Rites.
  6. When Activated Sleeper enters the battlefield, Bishop of Wings' first ability triggers, causing you to gain four life.
  7. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Activated Sleeper.
  8. Activate Activated Sleeper by paying three life, tapping and sacrificing it.
  9. When Activated Sleeper dies, Bishop of Wings' second ability triggers, creating a 1/1 Spirit creature token.
  10. When the Spirit enters the battlefield, Bishop of Wings' first ability triggers, causing you to gain four life.
  11. Resolve the Activated Sleeper ability, returning Priest of Fell Rites from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  12. When Priest of Fell Rites enters the battlefield, Bishop of Wings' first ability triggers, causing you to gain four life.
  13. Repeat.

03

Result

Infinite creature tokens; Infinite death triggers; Infinite ETB; Infinite lifegain; Infinite lifegain triggers; Infinite LTB; Infinite sacrifice triggers

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Maskwood Nexus replaces Conspiracy if the artifact slot is more searchable in a given list, though it costs one more mana to resolve. Anointed Procession doubles the Spirit token output without changing the loop's structure. The combo doesn't kill on its own — pair infinite tokens with Altar of Dementia for a mill close, or lean on the lifegain triggers into Aetherflux Reservoir to end the game.
