Xenograft naming Angel makes both Priest of Fell Rites and Necrotic Ooze Angels, so Bishop of Wings triggers on every ETB and death. Lightning Greaves provides shroud and zero-cost re-equip so the active creature can sacrifice itself immediately without interference. The two reanimators bounce each other endlessly — Priest returns Necrotic Ooze, Necrotic Ooze copies Priest's activated ability to return Priest, and each loop nets life far faster than it costs.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Arcane Adaptation substitutes for Xenograft if one enchantment is removed, doing the same job at the same mana cost. The loop produces infinite tokens and infinite life but requires a payoff — Altar of the Brood, Zulaport Cutthroat, or Blood Artist converts the death and ETB triggers into a table kill; without one, the loop just pads the life total and fills the board.
