Conspiracy naming Angel or Cleric is what makes every piece stick together: Body Double enters as a copy of Priest of Fell Rites, inheriting the creature type that Righteous Valkyrie cares about, so each ETB refunds more life than the three spent to activate the sacrifice. Lightning Greaves reattaches at zero cost to grant haste and shroud to whichever creature just entered, keeping the activation chain uninterrupted. Esper lifegain shells built around Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim have the tutors and recursive engines to assemble all five pieces reliably.

How it works

Prerequisites

Your life total is at least fifty. "Angel" or "Cleric" chosen with Conspiracy.

Activate Body Double by paying three life, tapping and sacrificing it, returning Priest of Fell Rites from your graveyard to the battlefield.
When Priest of Fell Rites enters the battlefield, Righteous Valkyrie's first ability triggers, causing you to gain life equal to Priest of Fell Rites' toughness.

Result

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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

If Righteous Valkyrie is removed, the loop collapses — without the life return, the three-life activation cost drains the starting fifty quickly and the engine stalls. Any anthem or lifegain doubler like Nykthos Paragon or Heliod, Sun-Crowned converts the infinite lifegain triggers into an immediate win condition; without a payoff already on board, the loop generates value but not a kill on its own.
