Kenrith, the Returned King forces an opponent to draw for 3U; if that opponent doesn't pay Smothering Tithe's trigger, Anointed Procession and Doubling Season stack to quadruple the single Treasure into four, exactly refunding the activation cost. The loop requires all four pieces on the battlefield simultaneously, which is the real ask — this is a 5-color shell running enchantment and creature density, not a lean combo deck.

Recipe

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 Anointed Procession and Doubling Season.
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

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

The Treasure output breaks down if either Anointed Procession or Doubling Season is removed — losing one drops the refund to two tokens, ending the loop. Strionic Resonator can double Smothering Tithe's trigger as an alternative redundancy piece, but the cleaner fix is running enchantment protection like Privileged Position rather than swapping components. The combo kills only through library depletion, so opponents with large hands or shuffle effects like Elixir of Immortality can survive a single rotation — prioritize opponents who are already low.
