Priest of Fell Rites and Body Double trade sacrifices back and forth through the graveyard, with Lightning Greaves enabling the tap-to-activate at zero equip cost each iteration. Bishop of Wings doubles the value on both sides — four life when any Angel or Spirit enters, a 1/1 Spirit when any Angel dies — and Maskwood Nexus makes every creature an Angel and a Spirit so Priest of Fell Rites and Body Double both qualify. The engine produces a token and sixteen life per full cycle while triggering every death, ETB, and sacrifice payoff on the board.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Teysa Karlov doubles the death triggers if the loop needs more output per cycle. Any aristocrats closer converts the token flood into a kill — Zulaport Cutthroat, Corpse Knight, or Blood Artist all close the game once the loop is live. If Bishop of Wings is removed, the life buffer collapses and the loop cannot sustain itself, so protect it or run Sephara, Sky's Blade as a backup Angel synergy piece.
