Priest of Fell Rites and Necrotic Ooze take turns sacrificing each other for three life apiece, while Righteous Valkyrie refunds that life and more on every ETB — Conspiracy naming Angel or Cleric is what makes Necrotic Ooze trigger Righteous Valkyrie in the first place. Lightning Greaves provides shroud and zero-cost re-equip so the active piece can immediately tap and sacrifice without summoning sickness interference. The setup rewards decks already running Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim or Oloro, Ageless Ascetic, where fifty life is a realistic mid-game threshold rather than a stretch goal.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Swiftfoot Boots replaces Lightning Greaves if the hexproof is more useful than shroud in the local meta, at the cost of one equip mana per cycle. Infinite lifegain alone doesn't close the game — Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Sanguine Bond converts each trigger into damage, and Ajani's Welcome or Soul Warden stacks additional lifegain on every ETB to accelerate the count before the kill lands.
