Kenrith, the Returned King pays 3U to give an opponent a draw; Smothering Tithe triggers, and with both Xorn and Adrix and Nev, Twincasters doubling Treasures, that one trigger yields four — exactly enough to reactivate Kenrith the next iteration. The loop runs as long as the target opponent can't pay the Smothering Tithe tax, which any hand-disruption or taxation shell can enforce.

Recipe

How it works

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.

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 four Treasure tokens due to Adrix and Nev and Xorn.
Activate the Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Infinite card draw for any number of opponents

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Replacing Adrix and Nev, Twincasters with any other token-doubler that stacks with Xorn — Mondrak, Glory Dominus or Anointed Procession — maintains the math if the commander slot is taken. The loop mills but doesn't directly deal damage, so pair it with Thassa's Oracle or a Laboratory Maniac effect if opponents are running laboratory-style win conditions of their own; drawing out the table is the kill.
