Biomancer's Familiar reduces Faerie Mastermind's activated ability from 2U to 1U; each activation draws the table a card and forces Smothering Tithe to trigger for every opponent who skips the 2-mana payment, generating at least three Treasures. Two of those Treasures immediately refund the 1U cost, leaving the third and any additional Treasures as net mana gain each iteration.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

You have at least three opponents. Opponents are unable to pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger.

Steps

Activate Faerie Mastermind by paying , causing each player to draw a card.
Smothering Tithe triggers for each opponent you have, creating at least three Treasure tokens.
Activate two Treasures by tapping and sacrificing them, adding .
Repeat.

Result

Infinite card draw for all players; Infinite draw triggers for all players; Near-infinite colored mana; Near-infinite colorless mana; Near-infinite Treasure tokens

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo collapses the moment a single opponent pays the Smothering Tithe trigger consistently — run it in decks that pressure opponents' mana or hold counterspell backup. If the infinite loop doesn't close on its own, pair the resulting card draw with Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac as the kill; the Mastermind puts the library in reach, but the closer is still required.
