Glorious Protector | Lagrella, the Magpie | Lumbering Battlement

Cards

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

Lumbering Battlement must be exiled by
Lagrella, and
Glorious Protector must begin in hand.
(This starting order is not fixed, and their initial positions may be interchanged as necessary.).

Cast
Glorious Protector for its mana cost.
When
Glorious Protector enters, it exiles
Lagrella until
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Glorious Protector's ETB.
When
Lagrella leaves the battlefield,
Lumbering Battlement is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Lumbering Battlement enters, it exiles
Glorious Protector until
Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Lumbering Battlement's ETB.
When
Glorious Protector leaves the battlefield,
Lagrella is returned from exile to the battlefield.
When
Lagrella enters, it exiles
Lumbering Battlement until
Lagrella leaves the battlefield. Resolve any additional effects of
Lagrella's ETB.
When
Lumbering Battlement leaves the battlefield,
Glorious Protector 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).
