Kenrith, the Returned King's 3U activated ability forces an opponent to draw; if that opponent can't pay for Smothering Tithe, Doubling Season and Exalted Sunborn together quadruple the Treasure output to four tokens, exactly covering the 3U activation cost. The loop self-sustains indefinitely against any opponent without the tax mana available, and Kenrith himself serves as the combo's commander, keeping the engine a tutor away from the command zone.

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

Activate Kenrith's fourth ability by paying , causing an opponent who cannot pay for Smothering Tithe's trigger to draw a card.
Smothering Tithe triggers, causing you to create four Treasure tokens due to Doubling Season and Exalted Sunborn.
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

Without Exalted Sunborn, Doubling Season alone doubles Treasures to two, leaving the loop two mana short — both pieces are mandatory, not interchangeable. There is no kill-faster alternative here; the win condition is decking, so lean on Kenrith's own draw triggers or a Laboratory Maniac effect for any opponent who enters the loop with a large library.
