Agatha of the Vile Cauldron reduces Super-Skrull's fourth ability cost by the amount of mana already spent on abilities this turn, meaning each activation gets progressively cheaper as Treasure mana flows back in. Smothering Tithe creates four Treasure tokens per loop when an opponent can't or won't pay the tax, and those four Treasures refund the activation cost exactly. The table sees an opponent drawing their entire library while Super-Skrull becomes arbitrarily large — it's a draw engine, a mana engine, and a combat threat stapled together.

How it works

Prerequisites

An opponent cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger. If the opponent can pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger, you can still perform the combo if you have enough mana to outlast their mana supply. You can also continue this combo for other opponents if mana allows. The extra mana can be used to activate any of Super-Skrull's abilities.

Steps

Activate Super-Skrull's fourth ability by paying at most due to Agatha of the Vile Cauldron, causing an opponent to draw four cards.
Smothering Tithe triggers four times, causing you to create four Treasure tokens.
Activate the Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Near-infinite draw triggers; Infinite card draw for any number of opponents; Infinite draw triggers for any number of opponents; Near-infinite ETB; Near-infinite Treasure tokens; Near-infinite card draw; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite creature tokens; Near-infinitely large creature until end of turn

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The loop stalls if every opponent keeps paying the Smothering Tithe tax — build a mana buffer before going off to outlast their supply, or wait until late game when resources are thin. Smothering Tithe has functional parallels in Tribute to Holos or Roaming Throne if the enchantment is removed mid-loop, though neither replicates the token output cleanly. Pair the infinite card draw with a win condition that converts hand size — Laboratory Maniac or Thassa's Oracle closes immediately once an opponent draws out.
