have all three out. it comes to the end step, sac death cultist. its still the end step so death cultist comes back (i think), sac again and it happens again. INFINITE DAMAGE! INFINITE LIFEGAIN! (in case they have pariah's shield on an indestructible/regenerate creature or a platinum emperion out)

The oracle text for Lifeline is: "Whenever a creature dies, if another creature is on the battlefield,
return the first card to the battlefield under its owner's control at
the beginning of the next end step."

Although this doesn't affect your combo, I wonder whether you could bring back artifacts with something like March of the Machines, etc.

Summoning sickness only affects abilities that involve tapping itself.

Since its the beginning of the end step when it triggers, I'm pretty sure you can only do this once per turn, just like if you're doing it with Shirei instead of Lifeline.

You are correct captain. At the begining of the end step occurs once after that you need to wait till the next one

@turbine-lifeline only cares if the artifact was a creature when it went into the grave and there is a creature in play when it resolves. As long as those conditions are met it doesn't matter what the card type is in the grave or comes back

any beginning of a step ability only triggers once per card.
