Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U ability forces a targeted opponent to draw; if that opponent can't pay Smothering Tithe's trigger, the token-doubling stack of Adrix and Nev, Twincasters and Exalted Sunborn converts one draw into four Treasures, exactly recovering the 3U to repeat. The loop kills one opponent at a time through library exhaustion, not damage, so any counterspell, Silence effect, or sudden ability to pay 2 from the target breaks the chain immediately.

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 Exalted Sunborn.
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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Parallel Lives or Doubling Season can replace either token-doubler in the supporting role, but the math requires both a doubler and Exalted Sunborn's flat bonus together to reach the four Treasures needed — dropping to one token-modifier falls short. The combo mills, not burns, so pair it with a Thassa's Oracle line or a backup wincon for opponents who stabilize behind interaction or a well-timed Smothering Tithe response.
