Trying to build a new infinite life gain combo in Standard. Also looking for a method to actually win... not just prevent losing. The following outline the combo.

Decoction Module + Winding Constrictor

Pious Evangel   + Aethergeode Miner

Yes four pieces is bad. But they're all cheap pieces. Just looking for methods to optimize the deck for a combo and figure out what cards to use. I'm really out of touch with Standard lately so this isn't as easy as it used to be. I was inspired by the combo when I saw the infinite flicker ability of Athergeode Minder on somebody elses infinite energy/counters deck. Wanted to manipulate the flicker power for a game winning combo.

Right now my only decent trigger is the life gain off of Pious Evangel   .

Wanted to figure it out myself and be smart, but that's a lot of time staring at Gatherer I can't afford. So I'd appreciate any input you friends have.

I should note that when it comes to infinite combo decks my philosophy is combo first, respond later.

So I started to flesh out the deck with just the cards on hand from suggestions so far. Doesn't play test very well in just a few runs. Four pieces is so many but I feel like there's no reason I can't find a solid base of consistency with the deck. Just need the right setup. May require focusing more on enabling delirium as to manipulate Traverse the Ulvenwald for more than just a land filter.

As much as I may not enjoy it, this deck is going to have to sacrifice combo gas for mid game stall. The four piece factor demands it.

If only there was a more efficient trigger.
