Priest of Fell Rites and Body Double trade places in the graveyard indefinitely: each activation costs three life, but Righteous Valkyrie refunds life equal to the entering creature's toughness on every loop. Xenograft naming Angel or Cleric is the glue that makes every creature qualify for Valkyrie's trigger, and Lightning Greaves equipping at zero cost keeps both pieces untapped and protected through each exchange.

Recipe

How it works

01

Prerequisites

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

02

Steps

  1. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Priest of Fell Rites.
  2. Activate Priest of Fell Rites by paying three life, tapping and sacrificing it, returning Body Double from your graveyard to the battlefield as a copy of Priest of Fell Rites.
  3. When Body Double enters the battlefield, Righteous Valkyrie's first ability triggers, causing you to gain life equal to Body Double's toughness.
  4. Activate Lightning Greaves' equip ability by paying {0}, attaching it to Body Double.
  5. Activate Body Double by paying three life, tapping and sacrificing it, returning Priest of Fell Rites from your graveyard to the battlefield.
  6. 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.
  7. Repeat.

03

Result

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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Maskwood Nexus replaces Xenograft if a non-enchantment type-setter is preferred, though it costs more to resolve. The loop piles up infinite ETB and death triggers but needs a payoff to close — Sanguine Bond converts the lifegain into a kill, and Altar of Dementia mills opponents out on the sacrifice triggers if the life route is disrupted.
