Clever Impersonator enters as a second Smothering Tithe; each Faerie Mastermind activation draws each player a card, triggering both Tithes for every opponent who skips the 2-mana payment — four Treasures at minimum in a 4-player pod. Those four Treasures cover the 3U activation cost exactly, making the loop self-sustaining until opponents answer one of the three pieces or start paying their taxes.

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

A second actual Smothering Tithe replaces Clever Impersonator if redundancy is the goal, removing the single-blue-pip restriction on the copy. The loop draws all players into their libraries but doesn't close the game alone — Thassa's Oracle or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries converts the forced draw into a win; Aetherflux Reservoir does the same with the storm count.
