You'd lose

Nope fathom say "may" draw a card. So you can stop whenever you'd like.

You need all three for the combo to work. Fathom draws a card for getting a +1
Chimera gives life for drawing that card
And the angel puts another counter on everyone because you gained life.
Rinse repeat.

If nothing else this is a great way to pump up an army of small creatures.

Add  {Aqueous Form} and you have a deck.

 {Ageless Entity} and {Ajani's Pridemate}

So basically a weird bant midrange/combo deck in standard?

Whatever you do, don't cast {Prime Speaker Zegana}.  Then you will lose.

Unless you stopped the process just before they had enough power to make you draw your entire deck.

Nope you don't gain the life when they draw. Lol
