Xenograft naming Angel is the linchpin: it makes every creature on the battlefield an Angel, which means Bishop of Wings triggers on every enter and every death in the loop. Priest of Fell Rites and Activated Sleeper alternate roles — one reanimates the other, paying three life each cycle while Bishop of Wings returns eight life per full rotation, keeping the engine solvent. Lightning Greaves grants haste and shroud to whichever piece just entered so the activation is available immediately.

Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Maskwood Nexus replaces Xenograft if blue is taxed — same effect, artifact-based, harder to remove with enchantment hate. The infinite Spirits convert naturally into a kill through Zulaport Cutthroat or Altar of Dementia; without a drain or mill outlet in play, the loop generates tokens and life but nothing that closes the game on its own.
