Fiend Hunter | Glorious Protector | Phantom Steed

Cards

All permanents in hand or on the battlefield or in exile (Exiled by the creature on the battlefield).

Phantom Steed must be exiled by
Glorious Protector, and
Fiend Hunter must begin in hand.
(This starting order is not fixed, and their initial positions may be interchanged as necessary.).

Cast
Fiend Hunter for its mana cost.
When
Fiend Hunter enters, it exiles
Glorious Protector until
Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Fiend Hunter's ETB.
When
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield,
Phantom Steed is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Phantom Steed enters, it exiles
Fiend Hunter until
Phantom Steed leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Phantom Steed's ETB.
When
Fiend Hunter leaves the battlefield,
Glorious Protector is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Glorious Protector enters, it exiles
Phantom Steed until
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Glorious Protector's ETB.
When
Phantom Steed leaves the battlefield,
Fiend Hunter is returned from exile to the battlefield.
Repeat from step 2.

Due to differences in card templating between the various banisher effects (linked triggered abilities vs "until" clause), steps 3, 5, and 7 may return the creature to the battlefield during the resolution of the preceding step rather than creating a separate event. This should not affect the overall execution of the combo, only how many objects pass through the stack (and thus rounds of priority available per loop).
