Priest of Fell Rites and Activated Sleeper take turns sacrificing each other back into play, with Conspiracy naming Angel or Cleric so Righteous Valkyrie sees every entering creature and pays back more life than each activation costs. Lightning Greaves shuttles at zero cost between the two to provide the haste and shroud each piece needs to activate immediately. The loop lands in life-matters Angel or Cleric tribal shells — Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and Liesa, Shroud of Dusk are natural commanders.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Maskwood Nexus can replace Conspiracy as the type-setter if the enchantment keeps getting removed, though it costs two more mana to deploy. For the kill, Sunbond or Archangel of Thune convert the infinite lifegain into a one-shot swing, or Sanguine Bond converts each lifegain trigger into direct damage — the loop is the engine, that fourth piece is the table-ender.
