Priest of Fell Rites and Activated Sleeper alternate resurrecting each other from the graveyard; Lightning Greaves equips for free each cycle to grant haste and shroud, letting each creature tap and sacrifice immediately on entry. Righteous Valkyrie triggers on every creature entering the battlefield, refunding life faster than the three-life activation costs drain it — Maskwood Nexus makes every creature an Angel and Cleric simultaneously, satisfying Valkyrie's creature-type requirement throughout the loop.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The life-total floor of 50 is the real constraint here — Angel of Destiny or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic can pad life totals before the loop assembles. Once the engine runs, Righteous Valkyrie's second ability — pumping the team when life hits 27 above the starting total — becomes irrelevant as a closer; pair the infinite ETBs with Corpse Knight or Blood Artist to convert the loop into a table kill.
