Faerie Mastermind's activated ability costs 3U and makes each player draw; Smothering Tithe triggers once per opponent who skips the 2-mana payment, and Doubling Season doubles every Treasure created, turning three opponents into six tokens per activation — exactly enough to recoup the activation cost and then some. The loop lives in Esper or Bant stax shells where Smothering Tithe is already locking the table out of paying its tax, making the combo a natural fit for commanders like Oloro, Ageless Ascetic or Teferi, Temporal Archmage.

Activate Faerie Mastermind by paying , causing each player to draw a card.
Smothering Tithe triggers for each opponent you have, creating at least six Treasure tokens.
Activate four 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

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The combo collapses entirely if any opponent can pay 2 for Smothering Tithe, so running Stasis, Frozen Aether, or other tap-down effects to prevent that payment is mandatory infrastructure, not optional. Infinite draw without a payoff is just a loss-by-decking — pair with Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac before going off, since the draw hits all players simultaneously and opponents hit empty libraries first only if lucky.
