have stifle imprited on Isochron, and have lifeline and the spawning bed out. 

Play the Manta, then use the Isochron to counter the skip a turn ability, then sacrifice the Wormfang to the spawning bed* the next turn, lifeline brings the manta back, counter the first ability again, infinite turns, and creatures

*this can be replaced by any sacrifice ability

the Homarid Spawning Bed and lifeline can be replaced with kiki jiki, splinter twin, or rite of replication, and panopitc mirror together. also sakashima, the impostor works. Just taking the idea and showing other options.

Rite of replication wouldn't work. . .

An even easier way I use The Manta is just imprint a boomerang. So each turn, play your manta, then return it to your hand. So there's your infinite turns, that simple.

while that can replace the bed and lifeline-you still need to stifle the lose a turn ability otherwise the turn you skip is the one you gain and it is a wash

how would Rite of replication and panopitc mirror not work to replace the Homarid Spawning Bed and lifeline?

because unlike your other suggestions the tokens created by rite do not leave play, you will still need to add a sac method with them
