Words of Worship and Well of Lost Dreams has been submitted already, and adding Cradle really doesn't do much more. If your going to add a third card, it might as well be Felidar Sovereign.

Are you kidding? Read Cradle. I adds a +1/+1 counter for every 1life gained.

You adds a +1/+1 counter?

Enchanting tale! Do you tell that at gatherings?

You're right it does. But your pumping a lot of mana into this. Look, lets assume consistently you're playing a land a turn. At most, by the time you play words of worship you'll have three creatures out, and this is on Turn 3. Turn 4 Well, Turn 5 Cradle. It's turn 6 now, and you're only just now able to use this combo. Pay one to skip your draw, pay one to get that draw back, pay another two to put five +1/+1 counters on a creature. At this point, its turn 6, you have say a 7/7, and two 2/1s (Isamaru and 2 Elite Vanguards).

Now consider, during what format is this combo legal? Not Standard or Extended, most Vintage/Legacy/Modern decks would have either beaten you by now, or at the very least removed your creatures. And everything would be gone if this was EDH. THe thing is, creatures are so fragile, especially when you're throwing them in combat. Outside of casual, this really isn't playable with the cradle, it just requires too much mana. You're better off going the route of pure life gain and then using draw to draw into a source that can finish right there. Find a way to make this infinite, or find a way to turn that life into damage. Channel could work. Or, use Vampire HExmage and Celestial COnvergence.

Mechanist, You just get way too hung up on the same cards, and that's fine, it's probably the ones you physically possess and play with. But just because they do great in the occasionnal pick-up game with friends, doesn't mean that it's viable against most other competitive players. And maybe this was meant purely for casual, and thats fine. But I'm just letting you know.

He reads the effects, but doesn't understand the implications/costs.

@Pinkie

I didn't know it had already been added. Besides this combo might not be viable but Cradle is still an awesome card.
