Kenrith's draw ability costs 3U; each activation triggers Smothering Tithe, which Adrix and Nev, Twincasters doubles to two Treasure tokens, and Goldspan Dragon converts those two Treasures into 4 mana when tapped and sacrificed — netting enough to pay for the next activation indefinitely. The combo asks opponents to simply not have 2 mana available for every Smothering Tithe trigger, which in the late game is a reasonable assumption.
Recipe
How it works
01
Prerequisites
An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger. Eventually the opponent will lose the game due to drawing from an empty library. You can repeat this loop with other opponents that also cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger.
02
Steps
- Activate Kenrith's fourth ability by paying
, causing an opponent who cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger to draw a card.
- Smothering Tithe triggers, causing you to create two Treasure tokens due to Adrix and Nev.
- Activate the Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding
due to Goldspan Dragon.
- Repeat.
03
Result
Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Infinite card draw for any number of opponents
Variations
Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines
Adrix and Nev can be swapped for Parallel Lives or Anointed Procession to double the Treasure output through the same doubling logic; either permanent preserves the math. The loop has no direct kill condition beyond decking — if an opponent's library runs dry before theirs, prioritize that target first, then chain to the next opponent Smothering Tithe can tax.
