Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U ability draws a card for a target opponent; when that opponent can't pay Smothering Tithe's toll, the trigger fires, and Jolene, the Plunder Queen plus Anointed Procession turns one Treasure into four. Those four Treasures cover the 3U activation cost exactly, making every loop free. The combo demands an opponent who can't or won't pay the 2 — tax effects and taxation strategies that lock out mana make that assumption reliable, but one untapped Island collapses the whole engine.

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

Smothering Tithe triggers, causing you to create four Treasure tokens due to Anointed Procession and Jolene.
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

Doubling Season replaces Anointed Procession if the deck already runs it, producing the same four-Treasure refund. Mondrak, Glory Dominus is a third doubler option in white if redundancy matters. The loop kills through library depletion, not direct damage — if an opponent has Thassa's Oracle or a shuffler, the mill line stops being a guaranteed close.
