These sort of "infinite combos" rarely works out in Manalink. I'll investigate.

If you can't find a proper solution maybe you can use something along these lines?:
Would it be possible to change both Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood ability/text to lets say trigger up to 100 times per turn.(most games will end if it triggers 100 times but you can make it bigger I guess)

so Sanguine Bond will become:
Whenever you gain life up to a limit of 100 times per turn, target opponent loses that much life.
and Exquisite Blood will become:
Whenever an opponent loses life up to a limit of 100 times per turn, you gain that much life

This will fix itself as a side effect of three things we need to do anyway:

1. Make gain-life triggers use TRIGGER_GAIN_LIFE instead of happening instantly in gain_life(). trigger_gain_life() does this the right way (see its notes in functions.c). real_gain_life() in the exe needs a minor touch up before we start doing too much of this (it doesn't properly stash the global it uses to indicate how much life was gained; but if gain-life triggers are resulting in life gains themselves, we're in infinite combo territory anyway). Easy but tedious.
2. Make loss-of-life triggers be actual triggers instead of happening instantly in lose_life(). Also easy but tedious; I have custom triggers working in my wip-clones branch.
3. Make having 0 or less life cause you to lose the game whenever static effects are checked, instead of only at the ends of phases. Very easy, and I mostly haven't done it because I've always loved Spirit Link and I think modern rules have treated it very poorly.

Probably it would be sufficient to do only C and one of A or B.

I don't think it needs to wait on triggers using the stack (fairly difficult and very, very tedious), though I'm not certain static effects are currently checked between triggers resolving.

I added an if loop to gain_life to win the game if Exquisite Blood is on the BF with either Sanguine Bond or Defiant Bloodlord so... fixed?

Making the changes above would be much much better, but at this point I have no idea how.

Well not fixed, but good to have if it doesn't cause any issues, until this can be fixed correctly.
